iPadOS14 produces these information messages to indicate that the security settings are less than ideal.


This support page will describe the more secure (recommended) settings for WiFi:

It is possible that your WiFi Router is too old for you to be able to set more secure settings on the router - so you can either configure the most secure settings that your Router will support, or update your Router for something that provides better security features.

It isn’t always necessary to update your ISP-provided router. Many have no alternative other than than to use the ISPs router/modem. The easiest (and often best) way to upgrade your home WiFi is to add either a more sophisticated WiFi Access Point (AP) - or a WiFi Router of your choice that is configured in “bridge mode”.


Of available choices, the Uniquity AmpliFi series of devices are currently very popular.
