That might be relevant.  Maybe the customer saying they can't get to routerlogin.net is just getting a certificate error and maybe they could really get there if they click through the scary warnings.

Somewhat related: someone took it upon themselves to extract the private key for routerlogin.net <http://routerlogin.net> from a Netgear firmware so I believe the CA revoked the key.

Doesn’t sound like the problems mentioned, though.

    I've seen a lot of phones/tablets refuse to browse to
    routerlogin.net <http://routerlogin.net> since they detect it as a

        I’ve had several customers call with new Netgear Nighthawk
        routers R7000 series and the only instructions that come with
        them is to download an app to your phone.  The user manual on
        the Netgear website says to do it the same as always, connect
        to the WiFi and browse to www.routerlogin.net
        <http://www.routerlogin.net>. Customers try that and the page
        cannot be displayed.  I’ve been unable to figure it out over
        the phone, I tell them to call Netgear support, usually they
        end up taking it back to the store and getting something like
        a Belkon/Linksys.

        Is this something stupid like force HTTPS or use a different
        browser or clear the cache?  Shouldn’t be this hard.

        Do you really have to use the app on your phone?  They say
        that doesn’t work either.
