Step-by-step how to change Wi-Fi Network Security Setting to WPA2/WPA3.

IPhone Xr — in settings, I press Wi-Fi and then press the “i“ to the right of the Wi-Fi network. I receive a message that it is an Unsecured Hidden Network and that the router needs to be configured to WPA2/WPA3. I have previously done this, but cannot remember what steps I took. Can anyone please provide Step-By-Step instructions? Thank you!

Change the security settings on your router to WPA3 or to WPA2 AES. How you do that varies by router. If you don't have the instructions for your router, do an internet search for instructions for your router brand/model or if your router is supplied by your internet service provider, check their website or customer support.
