Model: TL-WR940N  
Hardware Version: V6
Firmware Version: 3.19.1 Build 211228 Rel.38511n (4555)

When I connect to the TL-WR940N V6 I just bought on my iPad, I get the following message:

 

 

 

 

I have already tried to use other firmware versions: 200316, 211111

 

Host network security: WPA2-PSK

Can anyone tell me what I would need to do in order to increase security?

Hey

 

Easy one to fix this, you are running an encryption cypher called TKIP, change this to AES

 

Log into the router and under WIFI change encryption to AES, see example below

 

TKIP is the older version, AES is more secure and will remove the warning for you

Thanks for your answer but that option appears when it is router mode, in my case I connect with repeater mode and do the quick configuration.

 

 

 

here a message from my windows pc

 

 

 

Could you help me to see what happens?

I notice you have the security set as WPA/WPA2-PSK


What other options are available?  WPA is TKIP, you really want WPA2 only
