FCC confirms digital certificate NOT replaced, no longer recommend using ANY Netgear routers or Extenders as expired certificate prevents all major router functions from operating properly, even firewalls confirmed as disabled despite UI indicators.
How can businesses keep selling these as safe, workable routers if the"FCC confirms digital certificate NOT replaced, no longer recommend using ANY Netgear routers or Extenders as expired certificate prevents all major router functions from operating properly, even firewalls confirmed as disabled despite UI indicators?" Anyway to verify if firewall is REALLY disabled? Something doesn't seem right.
Update: While I did not get a response to the certificate not renewed by Netgear, I did speak with a technician today and after our long conversation I was able to login to my router. At first I had to use another browser, other than Chrome. Because I couldn't login before I was not able to get the current firmware update of 1.0.1.100 for my router. She said that update fixed a problem of not being able to log in--cause being the 1.0.1.90 firmware problem [no details]. After a long while of security hoops between my antivirus and trying different browsers and different kinds of computers, on my desktop [using Windows], I was able to go to the Netgear support page, locate my router, download the current firmware to my computer [which came in a zip file]. I removed the .img to my desktop, went back to my Google browser, entered the 192..... IP address, logged in, and via advanced, admin, firmware browse and upload I was able to login on Chrome like I used to do. I was able to view all the files at the router site. So far I can still login to the router. I plan to check on the certification when I get back with support. Hope this helps someone.
The cert is no longer invalid due to being expired; now, it's not valid because it's self-signed. Not really an improvement on my end. At least there was a change - just laterally instead of forward.

The Macbook isn't connecting to the router wireless (or the Ethernet LAN port)? This would be completely unrelated to the certificate used only for the router https Web interface.
Open a dedicated thread, provide router model, installed firmware, and some details of the MB (model year, MacOS version).
Just bought and Orbi and updated it to the latest release. Finally found a mesh router that works well but to my surpirse the certificate to routerlogin.net is STILL expired. I keep getting errors on my phone from my email client. Now it has been 7 months (2019-08-02) since this occured and Netgear appears to have done nothing.
Is this becuase:
1. Other prorites
2. Too cheap to extend the cert
3. Don't care
None of these options is satisfactory to me. I might be returning this unless somebody from Netgear can comment on why this has taken so long and what the long term solution is.
I suspect #3 Don’t care. The quality of Netgear’s routers and their firmware have gone downhill quite quickly since this digital certificate mess started. I dumped my Netgear router less than 2 weeks after it started and NO ONE at the company bothered to even to discuss the issue.
7 months later and still NOT fixed. Makes me wonder what other problems they can’t be bothered to fix. I won’t come back to this epic fail company.

Many other router models have got self-signed certificates now. Well possible the more than non-existing quality control at the ODM has simply failed again.

@Altsai keen to hear what the long term solution will be for all Netgear devices, too. Self-signed - this is what almost all other newer Netger router have got again because of some "security" specialists raised security reports about the shared private key of the former Entrust signed certs - can't be the answer, too. FWIW there can be two phases: One is the factory preset (here an ad-hoc and installation time self-signed cert is fine), the other is the every day solution once installed.
Hi there, our work is now using MDM to manage out mobiles and I get the same expired message for the same certificates and so I am constantly getting warning popup messages on my mobile phone? What is the update on this issue?
