Weak security

Angielav1 — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 17:59:29 GMT

I keep getting weak security message on all my devices. I’ve changed the settings on my router to Wpa2/WPA personal but still getting the message . Does my router need a firmware update? It’s the FAST5364. By the way, it takes ages to actually change settings on the router, it keeps defaulting back to the dashboard.

You should be using WPA2 only.

To anyone else… I followed these instructions … don’t!

Wi-Fi Hub

Open your browser and type in 192.168.1.1 to go to the router admin page
Login with your router username and password. You can find these on the sticker underneath the removable settings card on back of your Wi-Fi Hub
Select the See Wi-Fi settings button on the Dashboard page
Now Select Manage advanced settings
Select on the blue cog icon in the Wi-Fi 2.5GHz settings section
Then select the drop-down arrow next to WPA2 Personal
Select WPA2/WPA Personal from the list
Select the Apply button
