Please would you tell me the authentication mode for 5G. They all seem to provide weak security

Everything was fine until I switched to 2.4GHz for my printer but when I returned to 5GHz I had the weak security warning

The setting you highlight is the strongest available to you. Was this warning on a particular device?
