mywifiext dot net - is it safe? I get a warning from Google Chrome "Not Secure"

Hi, this ismy first post to this community.  When I was updating the firmware on my EX2700 the website said "not secure" for mywifiext dot net in Google Chrome.  When I read the messages, it basically said I need to contact NetGear to have them from from http to https.  

 

Is there anything I should be concerned with? 

 

Thanks..

       The following explanation refers to "routerlogin" (for a router), but
    it applies to "mywifiext" for an extender, too:

       _Which_ "the messages"?  I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for
    Netgear to change it.

       I claim not.
