I have my wireless set for WPA. But there have been a few times when it said “not secure.” But when I go to the wireless network box it has the lock on it for the WPA. What do you think is wrong?
Regarding different Wi-Fi encryption standards:

As early as January of 2011, the WFA plans to disallow TKIP for new access points (APs); from 2012, the obsolete standard is to be disallowed in all Wi-Fi devices. For WEP, the bell will toll a little later: From 2013, access points (APs) will no longer be allowed to offer WEP, and a year later the standard will be disallowed in all Wi-Fi devices. In addition, the WPA2-Mixed mode, in which access points are allowed to offer TKIP for secondary encryption, will be removed in 2014. Only WPA2-AES is to be permissible from then on.
You should configure your wireless security for WPA2. WEP and WPA aren’t very secure.
What access point / router are you using? What computer are you using? What Operating System?
