We are getting this same message, saying our security is set to "WPA/WPA2 (TKIP)" and we should use "WPA2 (AES)" or "WPA3", but our router is in fact set to "WPA2-PSK (AES)".
Is it possible the error message is simply wrong?

Our Linksys Routers use the term "WPA2 Personal" instead of "WPA2 (AES)" or "WPA2-PSK (AES)" for the appropriate level of security.
Internet provider suggested I change the modems password. Assured me that it was properly secure on their end.
They are wrong

I also don't have WPA3 as a choice, and also set ours to "WPA2 Personal" and the security message is gone.
Oh, lighten up. It was a J-O-K-E.
And how was anyone supposed to know that just by reading it?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.... I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE AND ONLINE FOREVER LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER AND THIS DID THE TRICK!!
It's correct that if one changes it to WPA2 personal only in my case, which was the only option, the message disappears.
So I need to contact virginmedia then? Why doesn’t everyone have the red dot?
Everyone who has updated to iOS 14 will have a red dot when on the phone or when using an app that uses the microphone such as FaceTime, Voice Recorder, etc. And a Green dot when the camera is on.
I had the same issue with my Phone 6s. I went out and bought the Iphone 11 and it still says weak security. I cannot connect to my wifi at all. Any other suggestions?
As already explained, if you read the thread you posted to, WPA2(TKIP) is WEAK SECURITY. You need to change it to WPA2(AES).
Hello Lawrence. Could I get you to take a look at my topic in the Water Cooler? It's named 6s battery problems. Thanks!
Done!
