RBK 50 Advice needed

I have a Orbi RBK50 and sattelite connected to a wifi BT hub, I have noticed that recently I have been getting a pop up message when logging on or entering a web site that my connection is not secure.

I have checked all the settings and cannot find anything wrong, what am I missing?

Can anyone help?

Thank you.

    Did you just connect the Orbi to the WIFI t hub? Is the hub in between the router or ONT and Orbi? That message is getting more common these days if you do not have an SSL  certificate, as more websites are using the more secure https:// instead of http://.

      Mstrbig,

      Thanks for the reply, thats the other message that is poping up as well as 'not a secure connection', 'invalid certificates'.

      It shows as 'not secure' in the address box.

      Any advice how I get around it?

      I have a straight forward connection set up, wall socket into the BT hub running the orbi off one of the available sockets.

      This has got me stumped but there probably a simple solution, I hope!
