Encryption is the Culprit:

Likely because your router is using WPA2 for the router's 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. Older devices may not support WPA3. So, it would have to have WPA2/WPA3 open for use. Without getting too technical here, look at the user guide of your router, for more on configuring this.
