If you see a notification indicating that your Wi-Fi network is not secure, it means you're connected to a network using outdated security standards like WEP or TKIP. These standards have known vulnerabilities.

Here's the steps to improve your Wi-Fi Security:

  1. Switch Networks: If there's another Wi-Fi network available that you trust, disconnect from the current one and connect to the other network. For more info, see Connect to a Wi-Fi network in Windows.

  2. Update Security Settings: For home networks, consider updating your router's security settings to a more secure standard like WPA3. You can do this by accessing your router's settings through its software. For more info, see Setting up a wireless network.

  3. Upgrade Your Router: If your router is old, consider upgrading to a newer model that supports the latest security standards.

Note: While older Wi-Fi security standards are still allowed, they will be phased out in the future. It's best to address this issue now using the suggestions above.
