Security Recommendation for WiFi

My phone started doing this the last 2 days too and like you its a 6+ and Ive worked in IT in a very high technical service role for 37 years so I know all about WiFi and how to make it secure and mine is secure so this is definitely an Apple issue. I have a fairly new router too and have both 2G and 5G wifi network set up and it only seem to say this on the 2G but it does kick me off the 5G too. If I start to incur any mobile charges because my phone switches off the WiFi for no reason then I will be asking Apple for recompense unless they sort this out.

Bought a 6S today and am sitting right by the router - it keeps dropping WiFi every few seconds and reverting to cellular. WiFi assist is off. I also get get the security recommendation message but have good security enabled.

I bought an iPhone7 a week or two ago - Siri wouldn't work on that despite all Apples efforts.

Am rapidly loosing all confidence in Apple

this doesn't help because you're ignoring the issue as it was explained. We know to use our devices and we know the difference between WEP and WPA2/AES. This is a huge pita problem with iOS that has been going on since Oct 2016 and so far is still not resolved.

I have set up my modem 20 ways to Sunday, but the important part is the the ERROR message on the device is NOT accurate. It keeps saying that the security is WEP when it is NOT WEP but is WPA2.

I returned a macbook Pro for this same issue. Tonight I can't get online with my iPad Air for the same dzzn reason. It won't connect because it says my security is WEP when it is NOT WEP.

PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE!

I can steam Netflix on my old Dell laptop with Win 7 24/7 and I can't even get online with my Apple device. Does Apple see that as good customer service?

Follow these steps first

Before you change your settings, follow these steps:

• Make sure that your Wi–Fi router's firmware is up to date. For AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express Base Station, check for the latest firmware using AirPort Utility.
• Make sure that your Wi-Fi devices support the settings this article recommends.
• If possible, back up your Wi–Fi router's settings.
• Forget or remove the Wi-Fi settings for your network from any devices that connect to your Wi-Fi router. This will prevent the devices from attempting to connect to your network with the old configuration. You'll need to reconnect these devices to your network when you're done applying the new settings.
• Configure all Wi–Fi routers on the same network with the same settings. Otherwise, devices could have difficulty connecting to your network, or your network could become unreliable.
• If you're using a dual-band Wi–Fi router, configure both bands to have the same settings, unless otherwise noted below.

Security

The security setting controls the type of authentication and encryption used by your Wi-Fi router, which allows you to control access to the network and specify the level of privacy for data you send over the air.

Set to: WPA2 Personal (AES)

WPA2 Personal (AES) is currently the strongest form of security offered by Wi-Fi products, and is recommended for all uses. When enabling WPA2, be sure to select a strong password that can't be guessed by third parties.

If you have older Wi-Fi devices that don't support WPA2 Personal (AES), a good second choice is WPA/WPA2 Mode, also known as WPA Mixed Mode. This mode allows newer devices to use the stronger WPA2 AES encryption, while still allowing older devices to connect with older WPA TKIP-level encryption. If your Wi-Fi router doesn't support WPA/WPA2 Mode, WPA Personal (TKIP) mode is the next best choice.

For compatibility, reliability, performance, and security reasons, WEP is not recommended. WEP is insecure and functionally obsolete. If you must choose between WEP and TKIP, choose TKIP.

Due to serious security weaknesses, the WEP and WPA TKIP encryption methods are deprecated and strongly discouraged. Use these modes only if necessary to support legacy Wi-Fi devices that don't support WPA2 AES and can't be upgraded to support WPA2 AES. Devices using these deprecated encryption methods can't take full advantage of 802.11n performance and other features. As a result, the Wi-Fi Alliance has directed the Wi-Fi industry to phase out WEP and WPA TKIP.

If your security is set to None or unsecured mode, you're using no authentication or encryption. Anyone can join your Wi-Fi network, use your Internet connection, access any shared resource on your network, and read any traffic you send over the network. Using an unsecured network is not recommended.

You may also want to try and reset the network settings on your iPhone. You can do that by following this path: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
