This is the page that I keep landing on instead of the login page. All of the instructions listed below have not been helpful in getting to the login page. So right now it only works on my other laptop via chrome.

Try using 192.168.100.1

So sorry for the additional replies but I was able to get to the routerlogin page by using 192.168.0.1 and unchecking the DNS option in Chrome settings. I used this post as a guide: https://community.netgear.com/t5/General-WiFi-Routers-Non/Accidently-turn-off-wifi-in-NightHawk-X4S-R7800/m-p/1976674
Trying it again on a different laptop, plugged into the router via ethernet, and using both chrome and edge, the results are the same. Passcode will not save to the 2.4 wifi and it remains unsecure. I also tried 192.168.100.1 with the same result - unsecured still.
I really appreciate your suggestions. I wonder if I'll need to do a factory reset from the routerlogin page. If that's the case, I will try it tonight when I am not working from home.

I'm actually wondering if its truly unsecured or if its your device warning you about it. apple is good at giving people notices when their devices are only wpa2 devices and not wpa3

Except it is showing unsecure on my Lenovo running windows 11 and my Dell running windows 10
