“Weak Security” Wifi after iOS 14 update

Since I upgrade my iPhone 11 WiFi is showing weak security

REPEATING what is posted many times in this thread:

There is no problem with your iphone.

If it says Weak Security, that means that your router is not configured correctly. iOS 14 checks and displays that message if your router is not using the most up-to-date security. Note that your router has always had weak security, you just didn’t know about it until now.

See this Apple support article for how to configure it correctly—>Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support, specifically the section headed Security.

Is it set to WPA/WPA2(AES), or plain WPA2(AES)? WPA/WPA2(AES) is weak security.

And did you forget the network on the phone and reconnect after changing it?

Have you updated the router’s firmware?

It isn’t an iOS bug. iOS “asks” the router what it’s setting is, and judges by that whether it is weak security. Your router may be returning incorrect information.

DHCP is always enabled. MAC filtering was disabled (in an effort to make this work).

However ..... this may be useful to other Vodafone internet users ....

Enabling MAC filtering and adding the iPhone MAC address to the table, and hey-presto, connected with internet.

Maybe the router didn't disable the MAC filtering although I did hit "apply" and the MAC table disappeared.

Doesn't matter now - it works.

I did have a problem finding the update to an app (Notio). I had to go to the app store via a link on the Notio web site to find the update. I deleted the old version and the installed the updated version.

It needs to be either WPA2 (AES) or WPA3

Wpa2 personal is still weak. You need WPA2(AES).

Yes, I know. I wrote that I set the router up as AES only too. Thanks.

I just discovered WPA3. Tech innovation is unrelenting. I’ll leave that for my next router, unfortunately not buying a new one right now... :)

I have checked the router configuration and is set at WPA2(AES) already

On the phone go to Settings/Wi-Fi, tap on the i next to the name and forget the network. Then reconnect.

What responsibility did you think Apple should accept for your misconfigured router? Do you think Apple was wrong for telling you it was misconfigured?

How do I fix this problem with weak security

Weak security notification only on one iPhone in house. All use same WiFi in house

Only phones on iOS 14 will check for weak security.

My WiFi ha “weak security “. How do I fix

Forget the network, then reconnect.
