Update Using a Computer:

Backing Up First:

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update

It means exactly what it says; the Wi-Fi or Cellular network you are connected to has poor performance.

You might also get this kind of message if you are using a VPN connection.
