Hello I'm really hoping someone can help me! So I have a tp link range extender which I bought for £15 from Argos a couple of months ago (I'll picture it below), so I bought this obviously to help with my WiFi connection speed so I can get WiFi to my bedroom and it has definitely done its job well with the reason why I bought it, however, recently I've noticed a privacy warning underneath my WiFi extender label in my settings (also pictured below) and I don't know why this is there or how I can get rid of it, I've tried resetting network settings and I've trued forgetting the network then connecting again and these 2 methods did work to get rid of the privacy warning but only for 5 minutes and it always comes back. If anyone knows why this is there and how I could remove it I would be extremely thankful you have no idea as I'm getting very worried now, thank you for taking your time to read this, I hope I find an answer!

@Solla-topee Hello, thanks for reaching out. I have a Virgin media hub 3 and have been told it’s not possible to change the DNS servers on this router after already giving it a try. To confirm some details, I’ve actually already tested the just being connected to my main router network for a while and there was no privacy warning but the connection wasn’t good so for obvious reasons i can’t keep connected to that network. The detailed error in my iPhone settings reads “This network is blocking encrypted DNS traffic, the names of websites and other servers your device accesses on this network may be monitored and recorded by other devices on this network”. I have an iPhone XR and an iPad 8th generation & I’m fully up to date with iOS 15.2 on both. The Hardware version of my range extender reads : TL-WA850RE 7.0 and the Firmware version reads : 1.0.1 Build 200923 Rel.57191n
