Nighthawk AC4000 (R8000P) - routerlogin.net is NOT private

[Jules_C]

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-N... however it doesn't apply. I do not get this experience in either browser:

1. A security warning displays saying that your connection is not private.
2. 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

   Nothing supported.  I'm unaware of anything, supported or otherwise.

Follow-up:

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.
