Change the setting on your router. How you do that varies by router. If you don't have instructions for your router, do an internet search for them for your router brand/model or if your router is supplied by your internet service provider, see their website or contact their customer support.

WPA Encryption Protocols:

If WPA or WPA2 is the encryption protocol you are using, then you are insecure. As a result, use WPA3 have to either reconfigure the router's settings to be using WPA3, or upgrade to a new router that supports WPA3. Older devices may not support WPA3. So, your router would have to have WPA2/WPA3 open for use.

That is a bit misleading. WPA2(AES), WPA2-PSK(AES) and WPA2-Personal are perfectly secure. WPA2(TKIP) is not as secure and will result in a security warning. And choosing WPA3 only is not a good idea, because it is incompatible with devices more that a few years old (such as security devices and wireless printers).
