For the weak security warning to not appear see if your router has a WPA2 AES setting -- in some routers the AES option is in a different field on the same page (i.e. WPA2 is on one field and AES in another field). Also see the following from Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points - Apple Support
Security
Set to WPA3 Personal for better security
Set to WPA2/WPA3 Transitional for compatibility with older devices
The security setting defines the type of authentication and encryption used by your router, and the level of privacy protection for data transmitted over its network. Whichever setting you choose, always set a strong password for joining the network.
Weak security settings to avoid on your router
Don't create or join networks that use older, deprecated security protocols. These are no longer secure, they reduce network reliability and performance, and they cause your device to show a security warning:

If your router or access point can do WPA3, then consider the setting ‘WPA2/WPA3 Transitional’. Then older devices can use WPA2, while newer devices will use WPA3.
