Why the Error:

If "Week security" is reported, it is probably because is your router is not set to be using the WPA3 Security Protocol.


How to Fix this:

I. Upgrade the Security: Set the Security of your Router to be WPA3. That is the ultimate in Wi-Fi security, to date. WPA2 has been hacked, and is no longer considered secure.


II. Whom to Contact: Contact the administrator of your network for assistance. If this is your network, then you need to manage this. What you need to so: upgrade the setting of your router to have WPA3 for the Security Protocol


III. Properly Configure your Router:

  1. Open: Web browser
  2. Enter: the Default Gateway (either 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1) into the address bar
  3. Press: Enter key
  4. Log In: to the router
  5. Upgrade: the security settings to WPA3


IV. Learning More: If your router is incapable of using WPA3, then upgrade to a router that has that capability. For more assistance with this...

  1. Contact: the Manufacturer of your Router
  2. Review: the router's User Manual
  3. Contact: The network administrator (if not you).
  4. Contact: your ISP
