Typically that means that you are using a public WiFi network. Those networks are shared by hundreds and hundreds of people and are not secure. I use them all the time but I don’t do banking, purchasing or anything that would require giving out personal information. If you are just web browsing, reading email, streaming a video, etc., you are OK.

If your computer is connected to the wifi network ... then yes, it's weak for all devices connected.

How to change the password type?... well, it's a setting that must be changed on your modem-router, generally it's under SSID (but it depends on your modem router model).

If you're not able to manage settings, call a friend who can do it, or contact the modem router manufactorer.

Your you got the modem router from your internet provider, contact the provider.

Regards and best of luck
