Nighthawk AC4000 (R8000P) - routerlogin.net is NOT private
When I login to my router via Chrome or Microsoft Edge, I get a "Sign in" pop up box that appears that says "Your connection to this site is not private".
I've reviewed this Knowledgebase post: https://kb.netgear.com/000061586/I-get-a-security-warning-in-my-browser-when-I-try-to-log-in-to-my-NETGEAR-Nighthawk-router-what-do-I-do however it doesn't apply. I do not get this experience in either browser:
- A security warning displays saying that your connection is not private.
- Click Advanced > Proceed to https://www.routerlogin.net (unsafe).
A login window displays - see attached screenshot.
How can I make my connection to my router secure? Thanks in advance for your help

Since my connection to the router is through a home and wired (private) network, should I even be concerned?
Also, the browser access to routerlogin.net times out very quickly. Is there a way to change the timing?
Thanks for any assistance anyone can offer.
