Thank you for this much needed info! It was taking me a long time going thru the steps since I always had to stop and start the video. I gave up and called my provider. He walked me through it very slowly like any child does with their parent. 👍🏻 it is done! Thanks for bringing this type of info to our attention.

Another David here and thank you for the tip! My TP-Link default was set to auto for version and encryption was TKIP for some reason. Thanks to you no more weak WiFi connection alert.

Thanks 😊... I'm always satisfied 😌 with you GUY'S useful and informative videos ...

Thank you so much for this video!!! I have had this wifi thing going on for over a year I had no idea what that meant I looked at so many videos but yours was the best I can’t believe I did it!!🤗 it took me about 10 min because I wasn’t sure where to find wireless security but after that it was so simple! Thanks guys 🤗

Love your videos keep up the great work guys🔥

Thank you David & David👍🏽

I know this is an older video, but I can't express how helpful it was! I literally went out & bought a new router & modem thinking it was 'old'. Every.single.thing I researched said they were either old, out of date, burned out from running so long, dusty etc. Replacing them fixed nothing! I followed your instructions & my old equipment worked fine. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the helpful, easy to understand, instructions. I have subscribed, liked & hit my notifications as my only way to thank you since i'm broke from replacing perfectly good equipment instead of watching you.

David and David love the work you guys are doing. Can you make a video on what’s the best anti virus for iPhone? Thanks.

Thank you for this walkthrough!

I found it very helpful, and was able to complete the steps to help my parents with their Wi-Fi. Thanks!

I really recommend this video 👍 very easy to understand and also to learn from i really appreciate you guys great job 👏

Really helpful video guys thank you so much

Thank you! It helped me a lot!

Thanks for all the information you provide!!

Thank you for every thing you guys excellent 🙏

Hey you guys r great! I’m a target of ongoing ID theft. Nothing stops it but sometimes I can slow it down. Thanks.

Saved my time, thank you! ✅

Thank you so much guys ❤

Thanks so much guys, I was fu.... confused, I didn't need to watch the video until the end, problem solved !! Thanks again !!

Great info, thanks

I am definitely not tech savy and I was able to easily use this info to find the same settings in my Xfinity router. If you don't know, you need to log into your Gateway and the setting is under Connection->Wi-Fi where you will see your network. Select the "EDIT" button and select the new "Security Mode" in the drop down. I had to do it twice - once for the 2.4 and oncefor the 5 GHz. Thanks guys for making it very simple.

Brilliant boys you've solved it!

Way beyond my understanding, the consumer shouldn’t have to worry to much about this.

Good explanation guys!

Thank you. It’s worked

Great advice! Thanks a

Thanks again 🚀

Thank you so much. 😊

Super helpful, and brunette David can get it.

THANK YOU!

Not only did this work perfectly but I now know how to communicate with my router. None of the other advice online aimed me in this direction.

Thank you!!

Love your videos

Thank you so much and I have the same router you have.

thanks. i really appreciate that

Thank you so much

OMG THANK YOU!!! The other tutorials were so wrong and I could barely understand the people talking. Thank you so very much for your easy to understand video. After only 2 minutes, the problem is solved. Woo hoo!!!

It worked!!!!! Thanks

Are most of the new routers wpa 3 now, I have read about it seems like it would be more secure than WPA 2 but WPA 2 personal AES,is still good. I would imagine most of the newer tech would connect to WPA 3 ?

Wow you guys are amazing. I fixed it and I’m a 71 yo grannie!!❤️😘🤗

Thank you!!!!!

Thank you so much guys 🙏 I really appreciate that

Thank u so much

Thanks bro

Wowi I understood that explanation.

Super stars!!!!! Thanks!!!

And also I subscribed your channel and shared with other people and friends

I have now done this twice and the router shows the security you show and still when turing on as weak security? any suggestions please , love your site thank you alan

Thanks guys.

"Dummy" no more. Thank you guys. Gotta love, YT!

@Payette Forward Is it correct, all devices from 2006 and above are compatible with WPA2? Can you confirm please, coz i want to change my security asap. Still on WPA.

Helpful

thanks

Do you have a complete Beginner's guide for Iphone 12

I use ZYXEL modem-router Model 03000Z (made for Centurylink) which does not have choice to select between encryption types. It just comes with the default WEP. Only Axon or Greenwave (C4000BG DSL Modem Router BG VDSL - up to 80 Mbps with pair-bonding made for Centurylink) have the option to change between Encryption (to AES). But centurylink informed today that if I pick just 'WPA2 Personal' rather than 'WPA-WPA2 Personal,' (login>wireless setup>wirless security>security type), automatically the encryption will be AES. Once I changed it WPA2 Personal, my phone did not show weak security anymore. It worked.

Just did my thanks

So would be phone just be buggin if it says weak security, because I checked my network is set WAP2 already?

This did not work for me and my iphone...with all the settings you recommended... until I turned off/on my iphone and my router, then success.

Thanks buddy D&D🤣

i'm getting WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) not considered secure. it's telling me to configure to use WPA2(AES) or WPA3. i can't even find the advanced section so i can follow you instructions

Help~~ I’ve done everything according to ur instruction and it’s still says “weak security” I did it with safari, not on a computer, is that why?

For people who can't select AES encryption, how to you tell the iPhone to shut up and use it anyway? Thanks.

Thank You. H

How about weak security while installing Portable hotspot device by Alcatel bought from the cell carrier with apple cell or iPads.Needs help !!!

My latest spectrum does not have access to the router does not grant me this type of access. My previous spectrum I did have access to all that. At the time of this comment my setup is an upgrade to my previous which I had for 6-7 years as of 5/15/2024 I upgraded about two months ago. I have a similar type of menu on their app but it doesn’t have all those options available. As of 5/14/2024 I noticed that apple wifi security issue message I changed my WiFi password because I did see a laptop connected to my WiFi and the other person that has access to my WiFi stated thT they don’t own that laptop so I created a new WiFi password but not being able to change my Wep to Wal/wpa2 personal will most likely bring me back to my issue again so do you have any suggestions?

Do i have to click the same setting for 2.4 and 5g channels??

Does it also affect the speed of my Wi-Fi?? Cause actually with weak security Wi-Fi goes and come back every 5 min

How do you get router info from ATT modem? Paulette

Do you have to do it on computer?

I was unable to log in to some of my apps, with a message claiming weak security. The WiFi setting on my iPhone also claimed that I had weak security. I called my ISP and after checking they assured me that my modem was using the WPA security protocol, and not the WEP protocol that my iPhone message claimed. I then clicked on the icon "Forget This Network" and after reconnecting, the problem seems to be resolved. I can now log in to apps that were previously blocked, and I no longer see the message on my iPhone that my network has weak security. Weird.

I don't understand. I want to know the user and password that must be entered before going to setup. What user must be entered? What is my name or name? And the password must be entered as the password used to connect to WiFi, right?

My router is on WPA personal. Every other phones and computers are working fine and on WPA except my iphone 15 pro max. I cant seem to open the ip router because theres no internet. How do i set this up manually from my phone

why would anybody give a thumbs down if you’re new iPhone owner like I am went and bought myself an iPhone 12 pro 😂 after using Samsung‘s for years I was really stuck Until I found Dave and Dave thanks guys use have help me unbelievably.

Hi,i’m searching to resolve and i try to change the protetion key but my router has not wpa 2 or 3,he only has wpa,wep and i try to put all of this but i can’t resolve…can you help me?thank you

If you have a router with 2.5 and 5G the 5G doesnt change from weak security. How do you change that?

Thanks for the demo. Another nice, easy guide to follow. However, my router is already set to WPA2/ AES yet my various apple products- one 2018 ipad, two 2020 ipads, iphone 12 and an iphone SE display the "weak security" message as shown in your video. In each case, I've made the device "forget" the network then reconnected. I've power cycled the router multiple times. Same message appears. All of the solutions I've seen on the internet give the same advice as you guys do, assuming the security is set to WEP. It's a quirk that's annoying the sh!t out of me. Any advice and help you can give would be appreciated. By the way, my android devices, phones and TV's as well as my various games consoles, show the security is set at WPA2. Please help.

Thanks David x2 ! Any further advice here most welcome ... I logged into the TP link site , I also have a AC1750 router as shown in your vid, I made sure WPA 2 was selected (configured),it does not have the WPS 3 option, however after tuning everything off and on again the Weak Security warning remains on my Iphone 8 and the 'info' telling me to configure the router ? On my iMac which uses the same router and fibre box it does show any Weak Security Warning and has the padlock sign. This is confusing so any assistance would be appreciated ? It's making me nervous this ongoing weak security warning ?

Hi, I have a question. 😅 Does wifi calling drains battery on iPhones? Thank you. ✌️

How do i do this on my phone ?my computer is fine but my ipad are the ones that are saying weakk security?

We cannot change this setting one iPhone 12 pro max? I mean iPhone browser?

Thanks...I checked mine and didn’t have the weak security.

Hello guys hope you can help me I have change my Apple ID but sometimes my old Apple ID keeps popping up asking me to put password in but I don’t have any devices on it please can you help

It never used to only started a few months ago

My router already said WPA-TKIP & WPA2-AES but it’s still telling me not Secure and that I need a WPA3 router. Bummer

Ok what if your already invaded by Hackett or who ever ? Is this going to make a difference!?!? I have servers that can move past those settings because I’m already IN! So by using tools in admin I can hurry up and fix a string of things and stay dormant!??

i followed the directions exactly and it didn't work on iphone 6s plus. it still says weak security. my router says WPA2 (AES)?

My wifi donsn’t have wap2AES option what is the Problem?

My router settings was set to WPA/WPS Preshared Key, it was also set to TKIP/AES, yet I have a weak security warning as well on my iPhone wifi settings. :(

David and David: Do you advise checking one’s router settings if WEP does NOT show up in Wi-Fi settings on iPhone?

Can I still do this on my phone ?

thank you brother from indonesia raja ampat

I’ve just deleted my old phones in ( click your name in settings & go down to bottom ) voilà my weak settings message has gone, after needlessly faffing about with my router

Nice it just happens to be the same brand of router

I did this and it still says weak security it was already on all of those settings

Good info but you forgot to click on Hide SSID.

How do I get into my router if I have no idea what the number is ?

Whenever I click on the router IP address, it says this page isn’t working, and it sent an invalid response. Anyone have a fix?

I don’t have ADVANCED SETTINGS for my router settings

I reset my wifi router, seemed to solve the issue.

im originally from UK, and my phone worked really well there, but it doesn't in austin, i think it's just my phone
