Security standard notification message when connecting to internet via WiFi

I have an Asus K52J laptop running Win10 (64-bit Pro) 2004 and have a WiFi internet connection via a Billion W40 ADSL router.

I am now getting a notification message when connecting to the internet "This WiFi network uses an older security standard that is being phased out. We recommend connecting to a different network". Clicking on "learn more" suggests changing the security type or, failing that, upgrading the router. I do not have an alternative network available.

I have spoken to my ISP who has informed me that my current security type setting is fine and also that there is no need to upgrade my router. 

Is the (Win10?) message erroneous or misleading and, if so, how do I get rid of it? If Otherwise, what should I do to solve the issue?

    Hi Graham-127,

    and what exactly is the type of security key that is currently set on your router in the wireless section? Why don't you specify it?

    Sorry - oversight. Security type is WPA-PSK/WPA-Personal
