A couple of things, how do I know that my router is connected securely and it's private? It keeps saying connection not private, how do I fix that?

       "it"?  What, exactly, says what, exactly, when you do what, exactly?

     

       It's common to get complaints from a modern web browser when you use
    the router's management web site, because the browser is worried about
    your sending some user credentials over an unencrypted/insecure link
    ("http://" instead of "https://").  The easy thing to do is ignore the
    warning, and proceed.  Presumably, you're talking to your own gizmo on
    your own LAN.  If someone can overlisten to that local traffic, then
    you're already in big trouble.
