Win 10 says EX7300/AC2200 WiFi Mesh Extender isn't secure

Question

Hi&nbsp;Occassionally Windows 10 will pop up the attached notification on my screen. I believe I followed the simple instructions and am unsure what I need to do to rectify. Any hints on what I need to look for or change in the set up of Windows or the Router software?I did have performance issues when sharing the wifi names with the TP-Link router. I ended up having separate wifi names and the connection is pretty much rock solid. The warning was before and after that set up change.&nbsp;Cheers

plemans, so I got kinda distracted on a few other things but regular dropouts in the last few days has reminded me of this issue. Apart from this semi-silent issue it has been rock solid until just recently.&nbsp;I also have since discovered its a&nbsp;EX7500 with Firmware V1.0.0.52_1.0.68&nbsp;As for the security settings in the extender, I cannot see any reference to&nbsp;Wep, wpa, wpa2 as one sees in the route documentation (https://kb.netgear.com/24096/How-do-I-change-the-WPA-settings-on-my-Nighthawk-router)&nbsp;The two Lenovo Win 10 machines show the same error on each. One 2012 model and the other a 2018 model.&nbsp;Appreciate any other insight you can give.

The EX7500 isn't a router.&nbsp;here's the page for the EX6100 that walks you through the wireless settings. it should be similarhttps://kb.netgear.com/24434/How-to-change-the-existing-wireless-settings-of-EX6100
