A "weak encryption/weak security" error can be easily addressed by logging into your wireless router and changing the encryption type. If you are not using a router purchased from FibreStream, please contact your router manufacturer for additional assistance. If you are using a FibreStream router, please follow the guide below:
For:
TP-Link Archer C7 (V2), Archer C2 (V2), N300 (V2), N750 (V2), C20 (V4 & V5).
