Yes, the latest web browsers complain about any "http" URL because by definition it is not encrypted, and thus "not private." My browsers do this as well, so I hunt for the option (often sort of hidden and saying something like "more information") and tell the browser, "go to the damn web site already." (I am not allowed to curse at flowers because it would hurt their feelings. Computers have no feelings.)
The Orbi web management site is accessible only from the LAN side of the Orbi, which makes it incredibly difficult for "evildoers" to snoop on these unencrypted packets.
The Arris TM3402A is also a router https://www.cox.com/business/support/arris-tm3402.html So, the Orbi is a router, connected to another router, which Netgear calls a "Double NAT" situation: https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT As the article describes, this can cause problems.
