ASUS Login Not Secure

[ROO2020]

My ASUS router for my GT-AX11000 shows when I login, that it is Not Secure. Shows the same on Chrome or Safari. How can I correct? I sent info on this to ASUS, and I totally believe most of their support group has no clue about their own technology.

That's because the webgui is on http . Not https. Not a problem as far as I know since you're only opening it from the local safe network.

Although you could enable https afaik

It's not a problem unless your LAN is compromised by bad actors wanting to snoop on your router administration. Looks like this using the MS Edge browser:

If you want to use https, then configure the router to use it.

Very little LAN traffic is encrypted. If someone gains access to your WiFi then I would more worried about other lan-to-lan unencrypted traffic than my router password. When this does occur you router settings are either not correct (or a poor WiFi password) or it's a family member. Moral, LAN-to-LAN traffic doesn't need to be encrypted only LAN-to-WAN should.
