Reconfiguring Sky Router

nad1611 — Mon, 14 Apr 2025 20:34:26 GMT

Hi. I noticed on my iphone uner WiFi it says "weak security" after looking into this I found this could be because my Router needs to be reconfigured to WAP2/3. So far I've found my IP adress and went to the sky page to see about doing that, it asks me to enter username and password. I wasn't sure of this was my Sky details or the Hub username and password. I've entered both but it keeps returning the box to enter the details again.

Can anyone offer any suggestions and how easy is it to reconfigure things?

@nad1611 The sky needed, user name = admin

password is on the back off the router label unless you have changed it, for the SR203/204 model.

Thanks. I actually just noticed on the Sky Hub Summary Status that the Wifi encryption is WPA2-PSK, so I'm confused as to why it's saying weak security and suggesting a reconfiguration.

@nad1611 That is the wpa standard for that sky router due to the age off it, wpa3 was not about when it was developed.

It's an Apple thing: they've unilaterally decided that only WPA3 is sufficient.
