    Adjusting Your Router to Use WPA2

    2 min read

    If the charger indicates that your network security settings need adjusting please following the below settings.

    1️⃣ Access Your Router Settings

    • Open a web browser on a device already connected to your Wi-Fi.
    • Enter your router’s IP address (common ones 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
    • Log in using your router’s admin username and password.

    Tip: If you’ve never changed this, it’s usually printed on the router.

    2️⃣ Locate Wi-Fi or Wireless Security

    • Look for a section called “Wireless,” “Wi-Fi Settings,” or “Wireless Security.”
    • You should see options for security mode, encryption, or password.

    3️⃣ Switch to WPA2

    • Find “Security Mode” (sometimes called “Encryption”).
    • Change it to WPA2-Personal (or WPA2-PSK).
    • If there’s a WPA2/WPA3 mixed mode, that may work, but if it dosn't you will need to set to WPA2.

    4️⃣ Keep or Update Your Wi-Fi Password

    • You can either keep your current password (so your devices reconnect automatically) or set a new strong password.
    • Save the changes.

    5️⃣ Reconnect Devices if Needed

    • If you changed the password or the encryption type, all devices may disconnect.
    • Reconnect them using the new settings.

    6️⃣ Optional: Update Router Firmware

    • Check if your router has a firmware update option — this keeps security strong.
