Amazon Alexa
When I connect my Netgear router to Amazon Alexa Wi-Fi, it tells me that the connection to Amazon-44P 2 has no security and would be easy for a hacker to get access. I have Bitdefender Anti-Virus software and it recommends that I use it's "hotspot" to connect. I activated the "hotspot" within Bitdefender and it shows as being active, but I cannot connect my Amazon Alexa to it. I try to connect it to my Netgear71 wi-fi and I still get warned about the no security. Is there a way I can get the Alexa connected to my Netgear wi-fi?
Your router should be using wpa2 any other setting like wep is a waste of time wep was broken years ago and open no security you giving away your wifi and letting people play with your network.

Thanks for the response. Somehow, (can't remember exactly how) I have gotten Alexa attached to my Netgear router Wi-Fi and now it is working properly. I think there was one setting I changed that did it. Anyhow, not touching it again..........ever!!!
