Hi @Lyndaj214 

Your router certainly should not be using WEP.

Can you tell us which router you have? A model number from the back/rear would do

@Lyndaj214 the SR203 default to using  WPA2-PSK which is secure so unless someone has changed the security level you are protected. Apple devices however can report this as insecure as there is a new standard WPA3 but that requires new hardware and as yet there are only a very few routers and devices that support it. Unless you are a target of organised crime or a state security agency WPA2-PSK should keep baddies out.

If you think someone has weakened security on your current hub to WEP you can reset it back to its defaults by pressing and holding in the reset pin on the hub until the power LED flashes.
