HHG2500 as a wifi repeater causes issues like "This site cannot prove a secure connection"

I set up my old hhg2500 router as a repeater for 5 ghz, turning dhcp off and connecting it from one lan port to another.

It made not only the repeaters wifi but the wifi from the main router give off errors such as the "this site cannot provide a secure connection" error on most sites, it also made the internet on both slow and almost unusable even though speed test said 40 down 8 up.

Because there will have been no authentication on the DSL and WAN ports, there will be nothing there. They will effectively be an unused port on the switch.
