The weak security warning will be displayed if your router security settings are not set to WPA2 AES or to WPA3.

How you change router security settings depends on the router brand/model. If you don't have instructions for your router, do an internet search for your router brand/model or if your router was supplied by your internet service provider, check their website for instructions.
