AC1200 EX6120 extender no longer secure?
Recently I started receiving message ‘Netgear WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) not secure - change to WPA2(AES) or WPA3’. How do I do this? Thank you.
Thank you for explanation.
Update: The older WNxxxx had a control to select the wireless security settings in place. The EX6120 don't have a control, the manual says on p.25: "WPS supports WPA and WPA2 WiFi security. If your extender network is open (no WiFi security is set), connecting with WPS automatically sets WPA + WPA2 WiFi security on the extender network and generates a random passphrase. You can view this passphrase on the WiFi Settings page (for more information, see View WiFi Settings on page 21)."
- Thank you for your advice.
