Huawei B535-232 Certificate has Expired

[cancunia]

Apologies for the double post, I put the original in 'Data' by mistake, it looks like it should have been in Broadband..

The certificate on the management web pages for the B535-232 has expired which means it needs a security breach in order to access the management pages. The router is on the latest firmware, but the certificate expired in November:

Software version 11.0.1.2(H200SP5C21)
Web UI version WEBUI 11.0.1.1(W2SP4C21)
Configuration file version B535-232-CUST 10.0.1.2(C21)

NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID
Subject: www.hirouter.net
Issuer: Actalis Organization Validated Server CA G3

I'm having this same problem, is there a solution yet? None of the above have worked for me. I have tried several browsers, too.

No one from Three reading these threads?

They do but as its the holidays I assume the mods are on a well deserved break.

Have you tried calling up and speaking to the tech team for a quicker response rather than await a response here?

Thanks, I'll leave it until next week. 

I tried calling but only getting through to people that think a reset is the answer. What's needed is a firmware update.

Hey @cancunia,

Thanks for flagging this up. I've reached out to a contact that has dealt with a similar issue in the past. I'll let you know when we have any further info or advice.

Hi everyone,

I've received confirmation this is a known issue. We're awaiting deployment of the updated certificates from Huawei, but there's been some unexpected delays for the B535-232 model.

I've also been informed that as a workaround, if connected from an incognito browser mode you should be able to select "advanced" and proceed past the certificate message to the admin pages.

I'll let you know as soon as there's any more updates.

Thanks for this. Enabled me to log in to the router admin pages but still doesn't seem to like serving up DHCP addresses!

Thanks for following this up. As you mentioned above, it is possible to bypass the security warning, but an update to the certificate would be the correct solution longer term.
