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...
It is Sep 12, 2019 and I still get the certificate error. Wonder when it will be fixed. I am really surprised that it is not being addressed.
I sincerely doubt they’ll ever fix it. They’re releasing firmware updates to all their newest routers, and the updated firmware all contain the expired digital certificates. I gave up on Netgear and returned my router. If they can’t fix this simple issue in 24-48 hours then the company is beyond useless and stupid; you have to wonder what more serious security flaws and bugs they’re NOT patching, or CLAIM they’ve patched without actually doing anything.
I purchased the RAX120 Nighthawk on August 8, 2019. I have not been able to login to www.routerlogin.net yet! I keep getting: Routerlogin.net digital certificate expired. This is VERY upsetting. I installed the Nighthawk app on my Samsung phone and it will not accept the network key code. So how am I supposed to update or view anything if nothing works?
- 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.- Tried signing into nighthawk app tonight and I keep getting an error try again. So I guess I’m not going to get signed in. So what do we do now
