Chrome Certificate
After the latest updates with chrome, The certificate is not secure and I get this: This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://192.168.x.x/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved ...

Here is the solution I found:
We found a fix. Delete the user's local state file located in C:\users\(username)\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Local State. After deleting it the issue went away. Let me know if that works for you.
EDIT: Confirmed this is also happening on MacOS. Need to go to Library/Application Support/Google/ and Delete the Local State file from their as well.Thanks Everyone.

The work around deleted the local state in the Chrome/Google folder did not correct my issue. Edge still worms. Any other ideas?

One workaround without deleting the "Local State" file or using GPO to disable "RSAKeyUsageForLocalAnchorsEnabled" is to start Chrome with the field trial disabled:
chrome --force-fieldtrials=RSAKeyUsageForLocalAnchors/DisabledLaunch
The proper solution is to create a new certificate for the server with the key usage flag "Digital Signature" enabled.
The background is explained for example here in the release notes:

A lot of work for Netgear engineering updating certificates, including the self signed ones, and distribute updated firmware all over.
Please distribute to all Netgear PMs and Engineers! Sorry for ruining the Xmas and New Year Holidays!
