Your Wi-Fi router needs to be setup to have at least WPA2 encryption . You are seeing this message because it must be currently set to WEP encryption.


If you own the Wi-FI router, please refer to the user manual to upgrade to at least WPA2.


If you don't own the Wi-Fi router and it is provided by you internet company, please call them to have the router set up with the better encryption.


Once you you have done this, you will no longer see the Weak Security popup.
