Model: Archer AX50  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.0.9

Hi,

 

I just bought an Archer AX50 router yesterday.  Everything was set and when I connect my iPhone 11 running on IOS 14.0.1 to the router, it shows "low-security wifi".  It happens on my whole family's iPhone.

 

I am unable to find any option in the router setup page to enable or disable anything about the connection security (wpa or wpa2, etc).  Is this normal?  I mean even my old router bought on a couple of years ago was equipped with such an option.   

 

Can I still consider my connection with this Archer AX50 is secured?

 

Any help is highly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hicks

Hi, this is because iOS14 and some new operating systems consider other than the latest WPA3 and WPA2 AES to have security issues. It is suggested to modify and change the wireless security on the AX50 to WPA2-PSK, AES:

@Kevin_Z :

 

I have completed these setting changes on my AX 3000, but I still get the message. 
 

Any way to resolve this?

Have you rebooted the router to force all your wireless devices to reconnect ?

Yep, tried that with no luck. Strangely the iPhone sometimes does not show that message, but then it returns.

Did you set these security parameters for both 2.4GHz & 5Ghz bands ?

From Kevin's screenshot is not clear that both bands have to be modified if you are not using Smart Connect feature.
