Why Windows 10 Says Your Wi-Fi Network “Isn’t Secure”

[learninmypc]

Windows 10 now warns you that a Wi-Fi network “isn’t secure” when it’s using “an older security standard that’s being phased out.” Windows 10 is warning you about WEP and TKIP. Here’s what that message means—and how to fix it.

Starting with the May 2019 update, Windows may show you a message stating your network isn’t secure, even if you know you use a password. If you see this message, then you’re likely using either Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. These encryptions aren’t safe to use, and you should switch to a newer protocol or replace your router as soon as possible.FULL ARTICLE

· If there’s another Wi-Fi network that’s in range that you recognize and trust, disconnect from your current Wi-Fi network, then connect to the other one.

· If you’re connecting to your home Wi-Fi network, consider changing the type of security that your router or access point uses. You can do this by signing into your router using the software for it, and then changing the security type for your home Wi-Fi network. For more info, see the documentation for your router or Setting up a wireless network.

· If you have an older router or access point, you could also consider getting a newer router that supports the latest security standards and improvements.
