2.4 WiFi network “Privacy Warning”

My 2.4 GHz WiFi network has a privacy warning and I have not changed any settings, I have not added or replaced any equipment such as routers, I am the only administrator on the account, and l have been having issues with my network in different parts of my home but it has nothing to do with my distance from the router because the most common area that I experience interference is very close to the router.

Upon discovering this warning I reviewed my settings for this WiFi only to become more confused. I have included screenshots to better illustrate my limited experience with internet settings. One thing I am curious about is why I have things set to automatic yet under the DNS Configuration tab there are 2 DNS servers “Feed1” and “Feed2” what does that mean and why do I have 2 feeds?

Then there’s the IPV4 Configure address automatically and a “client ID” but the IPV6 doesn’t have that “clientID” tab however there are 2 IP Addresses listed below.

What is all of this information and is it normal or is there something not quite right about these settings that I need to fix

Private Relay Bug:

Select Private Relay so that it is disabled, then enable it. It fixed it for me. There was some bugs in the system, recently...

  1. Go Here: Apple - Support - System Status
  2. Click: iCloud Private Relay - 2 Resolved Issues


As the messages read in the first screenshot: "DNS requests are being routed by iCloud Private Relay for this Wi-Fi network. Turn off Private Relay to manually configure DNS settings."
