I have an IPHONE12+ which keeps getting messages that say “security is weak and upgrade from WAP to WEP1 or WEP2. How do I upgrade to WEP? Should I continue using Cellular which is where the phone setting is located?

This can be done only on the router.


Check your WiFi Router / Modem for --> Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points ...


Consider more secure wifi configuration.

Change your router’s WiFi to use WPA2-AES (CCMP) with no WPA or TKIP. Updating this setting ensures that your devices always connect in one encryption mode


  1. TKIP is obsolete and not considered secure. Choose WPA2, the latest encryption standard, with AES encryption for optimal security
  2. If your router doesn’t specify TKIP or AES, the WPA2 option probably uses AES
