Win 10 says EX7300/AC2200 WiFi Mesh Extender isn't secure
Hi 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 t...
what method of security did you set on your network?
Wep, wpa, wpa2?
On both the router and the extender?
You can log into the extender and check its wireless security settings.
any other device giving you the notice?
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.
I also have since discovered its a EX7500 with Firmware V1.0.0.52_1.0.68
As for the security settings in the extender, I cannot see any reference to 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)
The two Lenovo Win 10 machines show the same error on each. One 2012 model and the other a 2018 model.
Appreciate any other insight you can give.
