You will need to change the security settings on your Wi-Fi Network's Router. Please refer to the Router's manual to learn how to log into the Router and change the security settings. If you would rather talk to somebody then you can contact the Router manufacturer / provider's support team.

More specifically, your WiFi router is set to use TKIP encryption, which is now considered insufficient and surpassed by AES.


You need to check your router to see if it supports different encryption methods and switch to AES if supported.


If it's not an option, check with the vendor to see if there's a firmware update for the router that adds this option.

If there isn't, then you either stick with the old/less secure. model, or look to replace your router.
