Hello Mollyjigger,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're getting a notification that your Wi-Fi security is weak. We're happy to help and provide you with more information. Do you know if your network is set to WPA2-AES or WPA3? If you're not sure, you may need to reach out to your internet service provider. This notice does not prevent you from using Wi-Fi, but we do recommend updating your network settings.


Check out the following support article to update your network settings:


Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points


Use private Wi-Fi addresses in iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and watchOS 7


Cheers!
