Getting a Security Warning in Browser During Netgear Router Login?

The latest series of Netgear WiFi routers provides secure web access from your Local Area Network or LAN. This indicates that the web access on your WiFi router is encrypted via the HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) protocol rather than the HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol).

The additional security of HTTPS requires your Netgear wireless router to confirm that http://www.routerlogin.net is secure. That’s why a security warning message pops up in your browser when you try to access www.routerlogin.net.

This write-up is all about to add the security certificate for routerlogin.net to your local PC. Once the certificate gets added, your local computer stores this information and doesn’t show any warning.
