It tells you what to do. Your router is set to use WPA and WPA2. WEP (the oldest Wi-Fi security) was broken long ago. WPA replaced it and that too is no longer secure. iOS is letting you know your router is broadcasting an easily hacked wireless security protocol, and you should turn WPA (not WPA2) off.
From your Mac or Windows computer, go into your router's web setting pages. You should be able to do this from your iPhone, too, as long as you're within Wi-Fi range of your router. Typically, you put 192.168.0.1 into the URL search field. The router should prompt you for an admin name and password. If you don't know what those are, almost all newer routers have that info on a sticker, which is on the router itself.
Once in the settings pages, go to the wireless settings. You should be able to find a drop down menu for the security options. Change it to use WPA2 only, or WPA2/WPA3 if you have that option. Save the settings (the router may tell you it has to be restarted).
One possible downside. If you have much older devices that connect to the router that don't understand any security protocol newer than WPA, they'll no longer be able to talk to the router.
It’s only WPA2 no other options. No extenders. But since yesterday the problem seems to have resolved itself?? It’s a mystery!!!

Just remember if your change to wpa2 your older products might not work work ? , this is only a issue with ISO 14
Thanks for reply
What if you do not have the option to change the security setting?
Live with the bad security on your router and hope you aren't hacked.
Thank you so much for this. It is better now!
i am having the same issues with my wifi weak security
I have a weak connection I can’t resolve the issue
When I connect to the wifi it also tells me the wifi is ‘not trusted’ once it loads and prevents me accessing any network. MediaForce is the provider which is being blocked.
How to remove the weak security wifi
My router is Xfinity owned. I do not have any kind of information on this unit to change it.
Thanks babykat50
I’ll try this as soon as Xfinity restarts my device!
