Are you using a VPN?

Hi @Littlemy23

 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

 

Do you get the same message with any other device connected to the WiFi? 

 

Thanks 🙂

I think it's just a false positive from Apple being over-zealous. EE's DNS are not inherently insecure. They may not be the most reliable in the world but you can always replace them in the router by reputable public DNS.

 

Does this msg go away if you change the Wireless Mode in the router to 2 or even 3?
