I had this as well. Iphone xsmax connected to home wifi via 5ghz. It showed up, but it didn't show up on the 2.4Ghz set up. It seems I've been connected to 5Ghz setting recently and not 2.4. Not sure why.

I got rid of the warning by restarting the phone. I wonder if it's an app causing the issue and once that app is opened then it happens.

I use an VPN (although not turned on when this happened) and Lockdown Apps (turned on when this happened... always on).

I'm guessing it might have something to do with those apps? Or am I totally flailing in the dark???
