Internet weak secuirty

Our internet speed seems to be functioning well and our internet speed is fast but on our apple products it is saying the internet has 'weak security' - see attached screenshot. Any ideas? First time we've had this issue.

@Sasha8 That will be a false message unless your router is over 10 years old, all supported routers from Sky are at least wpa2 as standard, Apple have in their own self importance decided any security below wpa3 is unsecure(which it isn't)

@Sasha8 by default most Sky hubs use a security system called WPA2 -PSK which is considered secure by the industry and is the normal stanard 90% of fouters use. Recent Apple devices can support WPA3 which requires different hardware in the router and only the new white Sky Hub6 offers that but unfortunately unless all of your devices support WPA3 you often have to switch that new hub to lower security setting to allow your other devices to connect.

@Sasha8

I would check your router is actully using WPA2. That message does not look the same as other users are talking about in regards to needing WPA3. WEP is certainly not secure and should not be used
