Access to my router is no longer available. The certificate apparently expired on 26/12.
I use Firefox.
Checked my computer time clock. All ok. Switched router off and on again. No change.

Any safe / simple workarounds available?

This is the happy statement below when i try to access the router page.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_CERTIFICATE
"Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to hirouter.net. The web site is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the web site’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What can you do about it?

The issue is most likely with the web site, and there is nothing you can do to resolve it. You can notify the web site’s administrator about the problem."
 
Try to access it using https://the.ip.address.here in Chrome, in my example I'll use https://192.168.8.1. You should see something similar to this:

Click advanced:

At the bottom there's text that says 'Proceed to 192.168.8.1 (unsafe)' (the IP address you see is likely different). Click that and the page should load:

You can also tell Firefox to ignore the invalid certificate but I haven't got Firefox on this machine so can't get screenshots.
