A warning message will show as below due to the browser requiring a signed certificate. Please don’t worry about that. The reason why browsers recognize tplinkwifi.net as “Not secure” is that tplinkwifi.net’s Certificate is a self-signed certificate. Most browsers will show this warning because tplinkwifi.net is not an authoritative CA. We can promise that the connection between your browser and the tplinkwifi.net server is secure.

Note: For more information about the self-signed certificate and unsecure notice, please refer to the FAQ here: Why TP-Link HTTPS web interface is detected as unsecure by some web browsers?
