Message on Weak Security:

If this is a message about weak security, then refer to the following...


Encryption is the Culprit:

The iPhone is getting this message because the router is using WPA2 for their encryption protocol, which is no longer secure. So, you have to either reconfigure the router's settings to be using WPA3, or upgrade to a new router that supports WPA3. Older devices may not support WPA3. So, your router would have to have WPA2/WPA3 open for use.
