Then check with the manufacturer of the router how to adjust security settings. Like, check the owners manual. Personally, I own a Linksys, whole house Mesh Network. I can change the settings using their App on my iPhone. I also have an owners manual for the system. And I have online support for the system as well.
The advice I offered however, makes the most sense. There are too many devices out there for anyone here to be able to tell someone exactly how to choose the right settings for all of those devices.

See the following Apple articles:

Ask your internet service provider how to adjust your router.

OK.....You could have simply added that checking with the manufacturer of the router is another option if you don't have one supplied from the ISP instead of how you handled this discussion. The point should be to help the OP, not school me. Just saying.........
What kind of router do you have? Brand and model number would be helpful.
I use a Google nest wifi router.
I doubt my ISP would have a clue on how to configure it.
Just referring them to their ISP is not the best answer.
