I'm not seeing it nor anyone I know who has upgraded, but none of us are using a Virgin Media Hub.

We are getting this same message, saying our security is set to "WPA/WPA2 (TKIP)" and we should use "WPA2 (AES)" or "WPA3", but our router is in fact set to "WPA2-PSK (AES)".
Is it possible the error message is simply wrong?

I had the same problem so ordered a new 3.0 router from Virgin. It arrived yesterday evening so I connected it. Guess what? Weak security... HELP!!!
Have you read the topic you posted in?
Thank you so much !!!! I was able to fix it with your help.
Tried to forget the network, and re-add it?
Still says "Weak Security" after forgetting and re-adding on iPhone and iPad.
Network Preferences on our iMac lists the security as "WPA2 Personal". Wireless Diagnostics lists the security as "WPA/WPA2 Personal".
I’d have a chat with Apple Support, then.
I've contacted Apple Support and passed on this information. They do not have an answer but are reporting the issue.
Good thing there is only one model iPhone and one model router in the world. Should make it much simpler to diagnose and fix.
When I updated my iPhone XR to iOS 14.0.1, Weak Security issue on WiFi disappeared for good.
Great, useful information!
Maybe it’s connecting to a different network. Try forgetting the network, then reconnecting. Also, restart your router. If the problem continues: Settings/General/Reset - Reset Network Settings.
Have you reported the issue to Apple with all of the details about your router? If not you may be waiting quite a while. I read your experiences, you are still far, far short of Lawrence's expertise.
Have you updated the extender and router firmware?
try that if not.
