This is NOT an iPhone problem; it is a problem with the settings on your Wi-Fi router.
A "Weak Security" notification means that your Wi-Fi router is not configured correctly. There is a new feature in iOS 14 and Mac OS Big Sur (11) and later versions that checks and displays a message if your router is not using the most up-to-date security settings. 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. And don't forget to configure your range extenders (if any) also!
After you change the router settings you should Forget the network in your phone settings and reconnect.
Note also that weak security does not interfere with using Wi-Fi, it is just a warning. Your Wi-Fi should still work normally, and, if it doesn’t, it is not because of the weak security message.

How do I change the setting on the router
You will need the user guide for the router, which you can get from the manufacturer’s website, or from your ISP’s website if your ISP supplied the router.
because your wifi router is not using a very secure setting
