iPad 2 (old device) won’t connect to router

TOMUKBK — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 19:04:41 GMT

I have an old iPad 2 which works well for reading and watch movies but will not connect to my new sky fibre broadband router

it probably has to do with the security WPA-3

how can I change it to be able to connect old devices

can I change it for 2.4 network only

With a white Max Hub you may need to reduce the wireless security level from WPA3 to WPA2-PSK using the Hub settings in the My Sky app.

You can use the same settings to disable the 5Ghz WiFi band.

Thank you this worked well...
A follow-up, is there a way to separate the security for 2.4 & 5 Wifi, as i would want my newer devices on 5, and older on 2.4 where i would have WPA2 set?

Unlike previous Hub models there's no way to permanently unsynchronize and rename the two wireless bands.

It's also not possible to run different security levels simultaneously.
