Weak Security. "WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) is not considered secure."
When connected to my Wi-Fi ranger extender (TL-WA855RE) I keep getting the message on my iPhone that that the security is weak and a suggestions to "configure the router to use WPA2 (AES) or WPA3 security type." When I try to configure the security on my router for the extended network, it doesn't show up. I have not updated the firmware since I bought the device 3 years ago. I have no hardware "version" number on the back of my device and don't know which version to choose for the update. These are my questions:
By not changing the security settings to WPA2 (AES) or WPA3 security type, am I placing myself at risk of someone gaining control of the extended Wi-Fi network?
Would updating the firmware on the device remedy the problem? If so, which hardware version should I choose?
Thank you!
