Enable Private WiFi Address. See the pic below which is self-explanatory.



If this enabled then you need to change the settings on the router.


iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Connect to Wi-Fi and resolve Wi-Fi issues.


About privacy and security warnings

If your Apple device shows a privacy warning or weak-security warning about a Wi-Fi network, that network could expose information about your device. Apple recommends connecting to Wi-Fi networks that meet or exceed the security standards in this article.


If you do not have WPA3 on your router then please choose AES and not TKP/AES. See the pic below.
