Hello to all. I use w wifi router at home to connect to all of my devices, including my iMac. I have observed this warning when I connect my iPhone to the wifi network: WPA is not considered secure. If this is your wifi network, configure the router to use WPA2 Personal [AES] security type.
I would like to learn what this means and what I should do.

Thank you. Have read your pointers. Issue seems to be bit complicated and tough for me to comprehend. I wish the process of switching from WPA to WPA2 is simplified greatly so that all users can get going very easily.

It is easy. Just reset the router's security from WPA to WPA2 assuming the router supports it. If you need to change it in your cable modem, then you will need to have their tech support change it for you since you won't have access to the modem's internal firmware. What is the make and model of the router you are using?
It has been provided by my internet provider. FINGW410B000, made in Taiwan is written upon a label stuck to the bottom of the router. GW410B WiFi Indoor Router is written at the top of the label. It has a reset button to it.
mind you the issue will only make it possible for people within range of your wifi network to get internet access from it without your permission it will not be related to people on the internet getting access to your system
Change your security to WPA2. It is more secure than plain WPA. See WPA2 vs WPA for Wireless Security. Any Google search will give you more information on each.
Then I suggest you contact your provider for help changing the security settings.
Fine. Thanks.
WPA not secure meaning?
