The weak security is referring to your router. You need to change the security settings there.
Thanks Chris, I did backup with ITunes, Tried additional steps, have my own router & extender, still getting weak security message.😊
Thanks!

Hey there Mew253,
Is your network set to WPA2-AES or WPA3 as discussed in the resource we shared? You may need to work directly with your ISP to help ensure proper settings.
If more help is needed, you'll want to Contact Apple Support.
Have a good one!
