AX4300 (RAX45) 'your connection is not private' '/untrusted server blocked
I am running with NightHawk AX4300 (model RAX45). About 1 day ago i started seeing several different things which I am not sure of the cause but would like to find the solution. Observations: ...
If you factory reset you router this may help as you set things up again.
After factory reset.
1. Make a backup of router configuration.
When you make your 1st changes with perferred SSID and New Admin and Password.
2. Make a backup router confiruration.
Once everthing is setup and working properly.
3. Make a backup rounter configuration
Now this will help in troubleshooting should you have to perform more factory resets
I know it is tedious & reduncant but it can save you a lot of time by just restoring a configuration.
Tips that have helpled me in the past and currently.
Before router firmware upgrade.
-Make a note of the firmware version
-Make a backup router configuration in case you've modified your configuration.
Or have to downgrade back to a previous firmware version
After router firmware upgrade.
Make a back router configuration because your configuration is not running on a new version.

None of my devices are trying to directly connect to the router.
In the case of Chrome example, I connect my phone to the wifi network from the router, either 2g or 5g and I go to any webpage on the chrome browser and I get the error. I am using a current version of chrome and am certain it defaults to using HTTPS.
It looks to be central to your network
Here 's some questions and things to check......
1. Where you managing your router remotely?
If so disable this feature it can be a doorway into your router.
2. Have or did you back up your router configuration prior to this problem?
If so it could be a save. Because you could factory reset your router and the restore your
configuration.
3. If you are running IOT devices, say smart switches, doorbells etc. are they all
patched with current software versions.
If so check & patch them. Also patch any operating systems on any pc, tablet.
4. Are their any devices on your network that you've kept the defaults password and
logins unchanged?
If so create your own secure password and logins.
5. Do you have virus and malware scanning software on your pc/phone especially If
android phone.
Download them; you might try the security suites from McAfee & Malwarebytes.
6. It may come down to factory resetting your router and starting over.
Just clean some things up from the listed questions above.
