	Yes, you need to use ssh to log into your router before issuing the listed commands, then copy the output and post it here, please. In case you use windows putty ( http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html ) is a decent ssh client you could try.

	I would say you do not disable it, but rather look why chrome complains (it might be that chrome dislikes self-signed certificates) and try to convince chrome to accept the certificate nevertheless. Or you could try firefox ;)
