how do I change my router setting

I get a message that my Security is weak....WPA is not considered secure. I need to configure my router to use WPA2 (AES) or WPA3 security type. I don't know how to do that.

You should refer to the documentation (user guide) for your router.


If your router is old, it may or may not support WPA2 or WPA3. If it does support WPA2 or WPA3 you will find instructions in the documentation. If you don't have the doc, you should be able to find & download it from the manufacturer's website. Or there may be a help file in your router (you would need to log into your router to see it.).


If you tell us the exact make & model we may be able to help more directly,.
