Enhancement Request: User-supplied SSL certificates for remote management
There is currently no way to install a proper PKI-chained SSL certificate from a third party like Comodo or StartCom SSL. With all current versions of the NETGEAR firmware, when enabling HTTPS access for remote management, my/all browsers get angry because the R7000 is using a self-signed certificate:
I have a free StartCom SSL cert all generated and ready to install. The problem is, there is no supported way to install this certificate, intermediate cert, and private key, with the R7000.

it need to add fuction i think ,maybe like user define ddns.
- really hard to believe that this doesn’t have miore votes AND it is only in an engineering investigation stage for 9 months. if you are going to offer remote management then don’t do it half way, especially when it involves security. the d7000 self signed certs are rejected more and more as FF and Chrome up the security levels with each release - sure i can use IE, but not when I’m on my mobile device trying to give needed access to family at home. Please do TLS properly and have upload of certificate store as feature or remove remote management as it is broken in its current form.

Not exactly the same thing but would be nice if the vpn feature supported user supplied certs too.
Thumbs up! I wish stock firmware would support CA cert... I currently use LetsEncrypt on my Synology NAS and webserver...
I would like to have that feature in an Orbi environment
It will be good if Netgear will use free Let's Encrypt sertificate fo this.
