HTTPS access to the web interface.
Do the RBR50 and RBS50 accept HTTPS and HTTP connections from my devices on my LAN?
Chrome is warning me that the CA root certificate issued to www.routerlogin.net is invalid.
"This CA Root certificate is not trusted because it is not in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store."
So does Internet Explorer:
Error Code: DLG_FLAGS_INVALID_CA
DLG_FLAGS_SEC_CERT_CN_INVALID
I don't want to enable "Always Use HTTPS to Access Router" in the web interface (Advanced - Web Services Management), in case I get locked out of the web interface if the certificates are not set up correctly. That setting should not be needed to make secure connections.

Well, go over the exceptions and accept... this is it.

OK to accept a cert with uncertain chain of authenticity?
How do we know that the cert wasn't compromised and would allow a man-in-the-middle attack?
NG should distribute valid certificate with the firmware...

I see that this has come up before. No progress since then ...
