XR500 internet time setup and SSH access
Hi experts. Couple of questions for you. I recently bought the XR500 as I got seduced by the DumaOS screens. I previsouly had a Netgear R7000 which I had flashed with DD-WRT Kongo. Liked it a lot but to be honnest the idea of having fancy bandwidth graphs pushed me to the XR500. While the interface is really neat, there are number of features I miss from DD-WRT, and some other upgrades I am hoping for (more icons for the devices e.g. switches, the ability to disconnect a device from the network as the blocking feature works only if the device tries to connect...). I am running version V2.2.1.10 which I believe is the latest one. To the questions: - I must be a little tired or something... how do we change the timezone ? Programming the wifi ON/OFF on specific hours would be much easier if the router was set on my timezone... - is SSH connection blocked ? putty tells me "connection refused"? - I seem to be able to access the interface thru HTTP or HTTPS... how do I limit to HTTPS? thanks much! Arnaud
Installing third party SSL certificate?
I searched far (Google) and wide (NETGEAR forum), but could not find the answer to this question for our beloved R7000. Is there any way to install a proper PKI-chained SSL certificate from a third party like Comodo or StartCom SSL? Currently, when enabling HTTPS access for remote management, my/all browsers get angry because the R7000 is using a self-signed certificate: I have a free StartCom SSL cert all generated and ready to install. The problem is, I cannot find a way to share this certificate, intermediate cert, and private key, with my router. Thanks! - Dave
