Archer A7 - Weak security message on iPhone

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.

Log into your router and switch your security to AES:

 

 

Apple, along with its new update will show that notification for networks that have compatibility for WPA. I believe the recommended settings are WPA2 AES for the Apple notification not to appear.

@cally1 

 

Make sure your computer is connected to the A7 Wi-fi, then open your web browser.

 

Try any of the following to see if your A7 log in page shows up:

 

http://tplinkwifi.net

 

192.168.0.1

 

192.168.1.1

 

The default username is admin and the password is admin unless you changed it.

 

Once logged in, go to Advanced > Wireless > Wireless Settings. You will see settings for the 2.4G and 5G in the middle.

@thebalconyfool My A7 is up to date on firmware, it only offers WPA/WPA2 (personal and enterprise)  in the drop down (or No Security)

The advanced security options like AES are not there.

I am not sure what you may be looking at. 

 

Can you post a screenshot?

@Tony Hey there! I tried this and my settings are identical to you screenshot / suggestion, but I'm still getting the message about the weak connection after rebooting via the "reboot" button on the website, then disconnecting and reconnecting on my phone. Did I do something wrong?

Thank you!
