Download drivers

I am trying to download drivers and the Download Center puts out the message :can't be downloaded securely.  Does this mean it isn't going to work?  I have tried on several different networks and the message is always the same.   This gives me an uneasy feeling.   Anyone else agree?

 

I am a teacher who has refurbished older computers so kids have a decent computer at home during this pandemic.   The A6100 is a good WiFi connector but the message is scary.

    Sounds like a message at your end. What is this "Download Centre". Netgear's support pages?

     

    What gives the message?

     

    There's nothing that Netgear can do about browsers that try to scare the life out of people.

    What isn't going to work? The drivers? I doubt it.

     

    What are these "different networks".

    Not really. It depends on where the message comes from.
