Trying to secure my router network security, it says open network.


Open Network indicates that your WiFi network is not configured for WPA security - and has no encryption; anyone can join the network without providing a Password.


To rectify this you will need to access your WiFi Router’s management webpage from a browser - and configure your WiFi Network to use WPA3 security - or if not supported, WPA2. You’ll need to set a WiFi network password.

If you don’t know how to configure your WiFi Router, refer to its setup manual. If the Router was provided by your Internet Service Provider, their technical support pages will provide guidance for accessing and setting-up the router.

“Domains” can have many meanings - but in general computing parlance the term is very often synonymous with Microsoft computers - as opposed to iOS/iPadOS devices.

That has nothing to do with your iPad. You need to login to the routers admin page and setup security for your WiFi network directly on the router itself. Do a web search for the setup guide for your make and model of router and follow the instructions from the manufacturer about how to setup WiFi login security on your router.
