I've just got a mesh WiFi extender and connected to router via eps but the network is showing as unsecure so security hasn't carried over and I can't find anywhere on instructions/web how to fix this.

Hi  @Stef9876,

Are you currently using iOS 14 or higher?

Ever since IOS 14 updates(https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211808 ), Apple has made great changes on the security update on IOS devices. 

New Privacy features improve user transparency and control over how apps access your location, photos, microphone, and camera.

After that, sometimes you might get a "Privacy warning" or "Weak Securty" on your Wi-Fi network

 

For this issue, here are some suggestions:

(1) it is recommended to change the encryption method of the front-end router or main AP to WPA2 + AES;

(2) then upgrade the RE's firmware to the newest in the official support page;

(3) then reset and reconfigure the RE after upgrading to the newest firmware. Set the RE's SSID to a new one for checking, it's more recommended to configure through the webpage. Then Reboot the router and RE together after that.
