This might not be relevant, but I have a "legacy" switch/router.
It does not have wifi, so there are no free firmwares to use.
The problem with connecting securely, as I recall is that the
manufacturer had/has several brands, and the certificate had a
mismatch there. When I used to use firefox, it allowed me to
specify a "security" exception, and then I could connect.

Nowadays, I usually use Palemoon (I know that some people here object to
the licence conditions, so let's not go there now). That also allows
me to declare an exception and connect.

This is from memory, and may not be quite right, but perhaps may give a
clue. You will want to know how to allow an exception. As I recall that
was offered when the security problem is detected.

You problem might be different, of course.
