You are connected to a network with default network name (SSID). The network or
the access point may not be configured with security
Connecting to an access point that uses a default network name (SSID) can be a security problem. This access
point usually uses all the default security and management settings (for example, Open authentication, default IP
address, user name, or password.) If this is a personal network, change the network name and security settings
to improve the security of the network.
