“This Wi-Fi network allows older devices to connect using a weaker encryption method” message from Trend Micro Android Security

After scanning your Wi-Fi, Trend Micro Mobile Security for Android shows no issues found but displays this message.

Why am I receiving this message?

This message may appear when you connect to a Wi-Fi with WPA/WPA2 mixed mode security. Aside from using WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2), this mode allows WPA (less secure) to work together with WPA2.

What should I do next?

Trend Micro recommends switching to Wi-Fi with these higher security and encryption methods:

• WPA2 Personal
• WPA3
• WPA2/WPA3 Mixed Mode

For assistance, refer to the user manual or consult your router’s manufacturer.
