How do I fix this WIFI(WLAN) weak security problem since the network service providers say it’s not a problem but worries my privacy from being linked since Apple warns me about the weak security wifi connection.
Qn1. Does the weak security wifi connection leave me exposed?
Qn2. How can I fix the weak security ⚠️ on my iPhone or Mac to stay secure?

Your internet provider has access to all sorts of information, regardless of your WiFi security. They know how long you're online, and probably what sites you visit. If they're also your email provider, well, you get the picture. So does your cellular phone company. They don't have access to what's on your hard drive.
The real concern is what other people might be able to access from your network traffic. And yes, this matters even if it's your own WiFi. If the network is yours, you have control over the security settings. Make your network more secure.
