Encryption is the Culprit:

Likely because your router is using WPA2 for its encryption protocol, which is no longer secure. So, either reconfigure your router's settings to be using WPA3, or upgrade to a new router that supports WPA3. Without getting to technical here, look at the user guide of your router, for more on configuring this.
