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?
Thanks Horsetcher.
Unfortunately the AX3000/Archer AX50 does not have a WPA2 option, it has WPA/WPA2.
I have also installed the latest firmware.
Thanks for letting me know Cake Princess. Where in the settings do I find the router name? I have searched but can't see it.
Please let us who also have this issue too know what they say
When you click on the Security setting it is a dropdown with other choices. What are they?
In addition to WPA/WPA2-Personal there should be other choices.
Agreed!
I'm still convinced that the problem is with IOS 14.2.
IOS 14.2 clearly thinks I'm using TKIP, which is why it issues the warning.
Have you tried updating the firmware in your router? How old is this router?
The iPhone “asks” the router what the encryption level is. Apparently your router is replying that it is TKIP.
Thanks for that.
I'll now focus on finding out what is actually happening in the router.
I'll also stop bothering folk in this forum about this issue. 😉
Try telling your iPhone to forget the connection, then add it again as new.
Not true.
Great! I’m glad it’s solved. that’s the 2nd time it turned out to be a range extender; I should remember that for the future.
You are right! The message disappeared for a while after I shut off and turned on the phone . The cause might be an extender, because the router is setup properly. I’ll check today the extenders.
Yep. Fortunately my TP Link extender can be set to WPA2 AES. 👍
Appears to be an Apple issue rather than an actual security issue. My iPhone 6s doesn’t report an issue but the iPad does. I’m just ignoring it and hopefully Apple will issue an update.
Is your iPhone 6s running IOS 14.1 or IOS 14.2.?
