You need to change the router security settings to WPA 2 AES or to WPA3 to stop that message. How you do that varies by router. If you don't have instructions, do an internet search for your router brand/model or if your router is supplied by your internet service provide, check their website.

Who provided you router to you? If it was your Internet Service Provider (ISP), they can advise on whether it is possible to increase the security levels on the product.
If you purchased the router directly from the manufacturer, you will need to get with their support folks.
Note......every manufacturer ships their routers with the highest security possible, so your router is likely already set to the highest level that it can provide.
If the router is 4-5 years old, it is frankly out of date at this time, security wise. Time to replace.
If possible, you would want to raise the level on your current router to WPA2 AES or WPA3.

Not every -- definitely not on the TP-Link router I purchased last year.
You’ll want to contact your router manufacture or your Internet service provider for help.
Thanks, they are supposed to. But, it's not uncommon to receive a router that has been on a shelf in a warehouse for a year or more.
It was a recent model and WPA2 AES has been around for a long time (16 years?) but it wasn't set to that.
Amazing
