When connected to the Wi-Fi network it says low security. My wife is connected to same network and there is no problem. This problem has just occurred. I’ve been using this phone for more than a month with no problem

iPhone SE, iOS 14
What phone does your wife use? Your message appears because your WiFi access point is using WEP encryption, the very first and very simplest protection introduced. Many people still choose to use WEP because there are still many devices in our homes and offices that cannot connect with more secure protocols. If your wife's phone is older or Android, it may not consider WEP to be the security concern that Apple believes it to be.
Of course, if your wife is using a new or newish iPhone, feel free to disregard my entire diatribe.

Has your wife yet moved to iOS 14, or is she still on iOS 13? Judging from other threads here on the forum, I think I have a better answer for you.
Ever since I got my first iPhone, Apple complained that my WEP network had "weak security". Since I have a few legacy devices that can't do "better" than WEP, that's what I use in one of my networks. It appears that from iOS 14, Apple now also believes that WPA has "weak security". This could explain why your identical phones behave differently.
My original comment stands. If all of your devices can handle tighter security, do it. If you are worried about spies, tighten your security by tighter encryption. If you are worried about your neighbor stealing your WiFi, turn on MAC Address filtering in your router and register all of your family's own devices on the white list. If you are satisfied that the level of encryption you use is the right balance of security and accessibility, keep it.
We both have new iPhone SE. Both were activated the same day. Hers has no security issues. This problem just developed with mine.
When I upgraded my iPhone XR to iOS 14, I also got that Low Security message.
But when I updated the iOS to 14.0.1, that Low Security message disappeard.
I still have it.
