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?

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!!!
