TLS 1.0 on Netgear GS724T switch using Windows CA

I followed this post which helped me get an idea for issuing a certificate on my Netgear GS724T managed switch: https://davidamick.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/setup-https-ssl-access-on-a-netgear-gs724t-switch

I then exported my root CA key as Base64 encoded .CER format and uploaded it (didn’t balk at the non .PEM format).
Finally I enabled HTTPS and rebooted as per your instructions. All is well in Chrome and Firefox.

This is what it looks like in Chrome:
