Weak Security On iPhone? Here's The Fix!

David and David explain why your iPhone says "Weak Security" and show you how to fix the problem for good. These steps will fix the problem on iPad too!

You're seeing this message on your iPhone because your Wi-Fi router isn't set to WPA2 (AES) or WPA3. Updating your router's security settings to either WPA2 (AES) or WPA3 will make it more secure, and the message on your iPhone will disappear.

If you can't change your router security settings to WPA2 (AES) or WPA3, it's time to get a new router.

Thank you for this much needed info! It was taking me a long time going thru the steps since I always had to stop and start the video. I gave up and called my provider. He walked me through it very slowly like any child does with their parent. 👍🏻 it is done! Thanks for bringing this type of info to our attention.

Way beyond my understanding, the consumer shouldn’t have to worry to much about this.

So would be phone just be buggin if it says weak security, because I checked my network is set WAP2 already?

I know this is an older video, but I can't express how helpful it was! I literally went out & bought a new router & modem thinking it was 'old'. Every.single.thing I researched said they were either old, out of date, burned out from running so long, dusty etc. Replacing them fixed nothing! I followed your instructions & my old equipment worked fine. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for the helpful, easy to understand, instructions. I have subscribed, liked & hit my notifications as my only way to thank you since i'm broke from replacing perfectly good equipment instead of watching you.

i'm getting WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) not considered secure. it's telling me to configure to use WPA2(AES) or WPA3.
i can't even find the advanced section so i can follow you instructions

I just checked and mine is wpa2 but on my moms phone it shows weak security but my phone is fine???

[pangdisneykiss]

I don't understand. I want to know the user and password that must be entered before going to setup. What user must be entered? What is my name or name? And the password must be entered as the password used to connect to WiFi, right?

Not only did this work perfectly but I now know how to communicate with my router. None of the other advice online aimed me in this direction.

This did not work for me and my iphone...with all the settings you recommended... until I turned off/on my iphone and my router, then success.

[dwchester]

For people who can't select AES encryption, how to you tell the iPhone to shut up and use it anyway? Thanks.
