Osprey Y855V Weak Security

For a while now my iPhone and iPad have indicated that the Osprey WiFi has ‘Weak security’. I did some digging on the internet and discovered that iPhones give this message if the WiFi hub is using WPA2 security with the encoding, or ‘Cipher Type’, set to TKIP instead of the better AES. 
Logging into the hub as Admin on 192.168.1.1. and going to Settings > WiFi  and I saw that the Cipher Type was set to Auto. I changed it to AES and now the iPhone is happy😊

That's the way to do it 🙂 !

Also make sure that  = WPA2 PSK & not WPA/WPA2 PSK.
