Change the security settings on your router to WPA2 AES or to WPA3 if your router supports it. If you don't have instructions for your router do an Internet search for your router brand/model or if your router was supplied by your internet service provider, check their website or customer support.

Depends on the capabilities of your Wi-Fi router. In order of preference:
WPA3
WPA3/WPA2 Transitional
WPA2 Personal.....also known as WPA2-PSK-AES
If your Wi-Fi router was provided by your ISP, check with the support folks there. Otherwise, check with the support folks at your router manufacturer's site.
Unless you have a really new Wi-Fi router, WPA2 is likely about the best that you can do. This is still OK....my opinion.... for most simple home networks for a few more years.
Shall I contact my WiFi provider to determine if I can use a setting of WPA3?
Thank you. I understand now. I will contact the provider who supplied the router.
Have a great day!
