Access my router from my phone
Hi! Trying to setup my new Frameo wi-fi digital photo frame but the wi-fi shows status of 'scanning'. From all my research and head-scratching, I believe it is due to router security setting of WEP...

I successfully changed WEP to WPA2 and also upgraded the router firmware (I'm sure it was very outdated). I had to remove the router from my frameo wi-fi setup and add it back. All is fine now; Frameo is working and we have uploaded photos. Lastly, I am going to investigate if I should change the router mode from 54mbps to 150mbps or 300mbps. Thanks everyone!

I'd be more inclined to work out what is going wrong with the "Frameo wi-fi digital photo frame" before messing around with the settings on my ageing (2013 update of a 2009) router.
At least you can rule out one issue. Your router is so old that it does not have 5 GHz wifi, which confuses a lot of IoT toys.
Unfortunately, I can find no previous mentions of frameo in this community, so no help there.
