Apple products with WiFi security

PJFH82 — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 15:56:02 GMT

My apple phone and pads are showing a security issue, after researching this it says it's because the box doesn't follow new security. I've tried everything from rebooting to forgetting network etc but security issue still remains. I did find on the net it does say I need a white box. Does this mean my black box isn't secure and I need a new white box.

when researching it's only showing information from 2024 or 2025 not for 2026.

thanks, any help would be much appreciated

Black Sky Hubs use WPA2-PSK wireless encryption by default: the white Max Hub uses WPA3-T. Sky won't supply you with a Max Hub unless you opt to add the WiFi Max subscription supplement to your Sky Broadband account.

It's only Apple that thinks WPA2-PSK isn't adequate, and Sky almost certainly wouldn't accept it as a reason for a free upgrade.

Thanks, so is the black box secure enough?

Realistically, yes, unless you've seriously annoyed a hostile state security agency ; )
