Archer A7 - Weak security message on iPhone
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I just picked up this router and set it up. I'm now seeing a "weak security" message on my iPhone next to my wi-fi stating "WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) is not considered secure. If this is your wi-fi network, configure the router to use WPA2 (AES) or WPA3 security type."
Can this be done with this router? I never had this message come up with my previous router.
Thank you very much for any help.

@thebalconyfool Ditto! I have been dealing with this for several months.

I'm using the suggested settings (WPA2-PSK/AES) and I STILL see the weak wifi message. Are there any plans to roll out a firmware with WPA3?

I know I seen it somewhere tonight, but now I can not find it. Apple is also looking for a password of 12 to 14 in length , can't remember which. Can someone confirm that?

I figured out the cause here. I have a few Tp-Link wifi extenders around the house which are in access point mode all using the same SSID. They were still using weak security in some cases so I changed their settings and that solved it. So if you have any extenders or access points in your network setup check them too.
