model C6300. I have gotten a notice that my router has low security. How do I handle that?
The notice says I must configure my router to use WPA2(AES) or WPA3 security type. Can anyone help me do that? Or do I have to purchase a new router?

I would hold off on using WPA3. WPA3 is still being worked on by it's developers and already has some known issues. Compatibility with mixed Modes with WPA2 is one problem. Something the WPA devs have to work on. Also some vulnerabilities with WPA3 are out and about as well.
