Hi, I really do wquestion that because I have a 10 character password and everything is same case and no symbols so it’s what I myself would call weak, But none of my devices alert me to this,
I used a network earlier in the year that I kept getting security warning messages for and I managed to trace it back to the fact the network used wpa2 with tkip encryption And a strong password but I still got the message. I let the landlord know as I was unable to change things So if when you’re back at that house, Try changing the password and see what happens. Good luck.

I questioned them about our router incription strength and the dude wouldn't bother checking since he was so sure that it's only a weak password problem. I was not in a position to argue or debate since we're not there for me to change the password.... So, the next time we go down I'll change the password and see what happens. Thank you all very much for all your input, it's been extremely helpful. Take care and stay safe. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Rams!

My recommendation would be that the system needs to be using WPA2 ASE or better Not that better is probably available to you at this point Good lcuk.

This morning both our WiFi networks, 2 & 5G, on both phones were getting a, weak security, message although both could be connected to either network. They both were showing 3 bars so, can someone tell us what a, weak security, message means? We've never received such a message at either house and we're not sure if this is a Wifi security issue, a password weakness problem or what. All input is greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
