Model: Archer AX50  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I received an email, sent about 1 hour ago telling me that "A new device has joined Archer AX50's network." I've seen this before if I actually acquired a new phone or other device, but I have not added anything.I was home at that time and no one else was in the house. I wanted to log onto the router to see if I could determine what the new device is, but when I tried to go to 192.168.1.1, my browser (Safari) warned me that the connection was not private. When I looked for details, it said that the certificate was not valid. Viewing the certificate, it is self-signed, with no issuer name, and it is for tplinkwifi.net. 

 

Does this sound legitimate?  Should I be worried?

No, you don't have to worry.

You reached teh router WebGUI via HTTP thus your connection is not private. But that's fine because you're within your local nestwork.

tplinkwifi.net is used by TP-Link to reach the router's WebGUI and it uses self-signed certificate.
