Security and Privacy: This network has been compromised
FAUM
Enthusiast - Level 1

I recently upgraded my phone, and with that I began using the Security and Privacy app.  It has been interjecting to secure unprotected networks, and I have appreciated that.


However, I recently encountered a problem that I cannot solve.

At my parents' house, every time I connect to their WiFi, Security and Privacy pops up and tells me, "This network has been compromised."  How can I figure out the reason for this message?

I logged in to the router's web interface, to confirm that network encryption was enabled (it was, WPA2), and I saw that there was a firmware update available, which included several security patches, and I thought that that must be the source of the problem.  But I upgraded the firmware and still the message keeps being shown.

Then I tried to change the router's admin UI login/password (it had previously been the default), but that did not stop the message either.

I also then confirmed that remote management is disabled, that there are no ports being forwarded, and that there were no unexpected devices on the network.

I have also thought of confirming that there is no DMZ server configured, and that WPS is disabled, but I have yet to check those things.

Again, how can I determine why the app is telling me that a particular network has been compromised?
