That notification states: “This Wi-Fi network uses an older security standard that’s being phased out. We recommend connecting to a different network.” That notification tells some users that their Wi-Fi connections are utilizing antiquated encryption methods. The message pops up for users with Wi-Fi networks that are still utilizing the WEP and TKIP authentication protocols. Consequently, the notification informs some users that their net connections aren’t entirely secure.
How can I fix the WiFi uses an older security standard pop up?
1. Select a Newer Security Mode via the Router’s Admin Page
Users who spot an “isn’t secure” notification should select a newer encryption method, such as AES or WPA2, on their routers’ admin pages.
2. Get a New Router
Users who can’t select WPA2 or AES, or other more update security mode options, within their routers’ admin pages will need to get new routers to fix their unsecure Wi-Fi. There’s little point sticking with outdated routers that don’t support reasonably update encryption methods. So, get a replacement router that does support the latest encryption methods. Microsoft has confirmed that it intends to stop supporting the WEP and TKIP protocols, which is why Windows 10 now displays an “isn’t secure” notification to some users. Thus, users need to either change their current routers’ encryption settings or change their routers to ensure they can still browse the web when the big M terminates support for WEP and TKIP. We hope you managed to get rid of the this WiFi network uses an older security standard pop up on your Windows device and fixed everything. Let us know how it went in the comments section below.
