I am staying a a holiday apartment and connected to the WiFi which is specific for the room and receive this warning even though Windows says the connection is secured with WiFi 6 WPA2 Personal. It recommended using the VPN. Why is this?

    Hello, can you check in the main interface under Protection - Vulnerability - Wi-Fi Security Advisor if there are any detected issues? I suspect that the password is detected as weak.

    It's the apartment owner's mobile number so 10 digits.

    Hi,

    For more context, you can also check this insightful article on Bitdefender's Wi-Fi Security Advisor:

    Apparently, the password is the weak link in this case. The recommended action here would be to use the VPN.
