My router is 10 years old. On my 2019 HP laptop, I keep getting warnings that "This wi-fi network uses an older security standard that's being phased out. We recommend connecting to a different net...
I am very confused at all the acronyms written. I don't know how to make sure router is fully updated to the latest "firmware". My security "type" is WPA-Personal. Network band 2.4 Ghz. Link speed 34/36 (Mbps). Protocol 802.119. One channel. If I open "other networks", I can easily connect, but then I won't have that particular password. How does that work? When you asked if I am using WEB, what is WEB defined? Sorry for my ignorance.
That should have been WEP not WEB. Sorry. Try changing your standard from WPA Personal to WPA2-PSK [AES] if you have that option.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.
BTW, WEP is an old WiFi standard but it has been compromised so it should not be used. It may not even be an option anymore on routers.
I have an older router that I use as an access point and it gives me that same message but I don't worry. I know its an older router but it gives me wifi where my other can't reach.
I eventually bought a newer Netgear router. Thanks for the support.
