Modems/Routers : Add HTTPS when connecting to the NETGEAR Genie page

Bitdefender is saying any router without https authentication is a high security risk.
I just scanned my network with bitdefender home scanner to see if any of the myriad of devices I have in my smart home is a security risk.

push through firmware upgrades.)
Reading this thread, is it safe to assume that Netgear still doesnt use https for authentication?
