Hi @Bessie79

It’s nothing to worry about and your WiFi is still perfectly secure. WiFi security standards are constantly being updated in line with new product and software releases and over time, stronger standards emerge.

If you have a Hub 3 or an older model, or our WiFi Boosters, your WiFi security defaults to ‘WPA-PSK’ ‘WPA2-PSK’ and it’s the older ‘WPA-PSK’ standard that generates the message. If you’d like to remove the message from your device, you can update your hub or booster's security settings to WPA2-PSK, just follow these steps:

Hub 3

   Login to your hub via 192.168.0.1
   Enter your admin name and password (this is printed on a sticker on the hub if you haven’t changed the password)
   Once logged in, go to Advanced settings  > Wireless > Security
   Click on the dropdown next to Security and change it to WPA2-PSK (note you’ll need to do this for both the 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz network if you’ve separated these)
   Once you hit save the hub will refresh and when it reconnects the WiFi you should find the message has disappeared

Best wishes,

Serena
