Orbi Trouble after Firmware : 2.5.1.8

[Mohur]

Hi. I recently updated my Orbi to the latest Firmware : 2.5.1.8
My setup ( RBK 50 + RBS50 )

After recently updating the firmware from the Orbi app my Orbi devices are giving major issues.

Sometimes the Orbi would freeze and atop working due to which I have to manually restart the device

Recently it has started giving some random issues on apple devices where the iPhones and iPad will give an error showing

www.routerlogin.net
Certificate Expired

And this problems keeps on repeating

I’m uploading screenshots of the issue.
I hope NETGEAR can help and resolve my issue.

This is the famous "SSL Certificate" issue that Netgear messed up in August 2019 and has yet to fix.  Basically, Netgear let the SSL Certificate (from Entrust) expire and had no method to replace the certificate in Orbi firmware except to create an entirely new download of firmware.  They finally decided to create their own certificate, which many browsers refuse to "trust" since it is self-signed.

The solution is to connect to the Orbi with a web browser to http://orbilogin.net rather than httpS://orbilogin.net.

Please explain more about the other issues.
