just expected better of netgear; really makes one think twice before making another purchase from netgear... Today's nighthawks and wifi 6 gear are all going to be their future abandonware.

SSL certs appear to be a bit more complicated that I had originally thought (ignorance being "bliss" for sure).
My impression is that the problem with self-signed certs is not that Netgear "messed it up", but that browsers have a table of recognized certificate authorities which they will trust and no self-signed cert is going to be recognized as one of those authorities. I suspect this because at least a couple of times a year one of the Microsoft updates has a comment about "Updating Certificate Authorities".
