Routerlogin.net digital certificate expired
Just discovered that the digital certificate for routerlogin.net has expired; it expired on August 2, 2019, and apparently no one at Netgear noticed it or fixed it yet that is why browsers like Chro...
FCC has confirmed all supported Netgear routers, consumer and business, are affected by this expired certificate, that the issue has been raised with Netgear, and they don’t know if Netgear will ever fix it. The FCC claps confirmed this expired certificate affects accessing https websites and apps, and prevents even simple router maintenance as administrators can no longer login to the routers. The FCC no longer recommends purchasing Netgear routers because of this outstanding critical issue.
It would be really nice if Netgear would finally actually REPLACE the expired certificate. Even the FCC says this should have been done within 12 HOURS of it first being reported and emergency firmware updates pushed out to all supported routers within 24 hours of first report.

Thank you for that information. As I have been reading tonight online, I see this is a huge problem. I don't understand why they haven't taken steps to correct it. Buying the lastest router, one think they knew people would learn their certificate is expired. Mine is new enough we can return it. I am going back to my old one for now. I have always liked Netgear, but this has sure put some antenna's up for me concerning future purchases.
