I'm guessing you are talking about accessing your router's web interface using HTTPS. If you use the self-signed cert from the router, then you will always still see a warning. Browsers will show a warning for self-signed certs; you have to get a cert signed from a CA to get rid of the warning. The traffic between your browser and router is still encrypted.

ahh thanks

Or you can import the certificate into the certificate store on your PC to get rid of the warning.

The certificate available from the router has a domain name - in my case the DDNS domain. I found an easy way round this by using that domain name for the router on the internal network by setting the domain name in the lan settings.
Works sweet as a nut but I'm ready for criticism from admitting this.
As an example if the domain is squiggle.ddns.net the I do this for the lan

And on the dhcp page

Works 100% and gives everything on the lan a.ddns.net name. I can access my NAS with nas.ddns.net or my settop box with sh1.ddns.net
It doesn't really improve the security any (which on the lan isn't a concern) but it does satisfy the browsers and gives me a warm glow knowing I sorted that myself.
