Network Hardware Information Forums. They will provide you with the steps on how to change the security protocol. If your router was provided to you by your internet service provider, you can also contact them for information on how to change the security
protocol. Be sure to let us know the results!

The router configuration and how to manage it are usually based on the model your using, so I would suggest to look for more specific info online searching for your model.

And maybe provide also more info here so that, if there's someone with specific knowledge on it, he may be able to help.

 

go to your router web configuration

 

Your best option is to find the Routers manual from the manufacturers website, that should give you all the info you need to change the security on it.
