RBR50 - cannot open the ADMIN site using Chrome or Edge (or certificate warnings)
I have been trying to connect to the ADMIN site hosted by my Orbi router (https://10.0.0.1) using Chrome or Edge from my laptop - and I get the following messages: from Chrome: "This site can’t be rea...

It is correct that Netgear routers default to 192.168.1.1 for their LAN interface and change to 10.0.0.1 when their WAN interface is assigned an IP in the 192.168.1.x subnet. (and also generally a result of having more than one router.) But that is not irrelevant to the discussion.
- Firefox (Windows) and Safari (iPhone) connect to the router web interface at 10.0.0.1 with the usual security warnings, but
- Chrome and Edge (Windows) respond that that 10.0.0.1 cannot be found.
The solution is to use Firefox on Windows and Safari on Apple devices.
The question is what would cause Chrome and Edge (based on Chrome) to display this message and what can be done to those browsers to prevent that from happening.

They all differ in their security barriers.
Edge happily connects to routers here but with the usual health warnings. And not all of these devices are on 192.168.1.1.
I have another router on 192.168.2.1. This has the 192.168.1.1 one as 192.168.2.174 in the DMZ for the first router.
Edge sees both 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.2.1.
Would that approach work with the first, or second router on 10.0.0.1?
It is a while since I set up my network.
My AT&T router is at 192.168.1.254 - but Chrome and Edge can see it. That router is using http instead of https - and I get a "Not secure" warning in both of those browsers - but they both can pull up the site from that router no problem.
Why does it make a difference that the IP for my Orbi is 10.0.0.1 (vs. 192.168.x.x)? Or is it that it is https the issue?
Thanks.
