@Bobo Wpa2-psk is still basically secure and only very new routers support wpa3 which is admitedly better. No isp is going to dump several million operational routers because a new standard has been developed so do as virtually everyone does which is ignore Apple's warning.

Only the new Max Hub supports WPA3

 

The Sky Hub, Q Hub and Sky Broadband Hub are all WPA2 or below, and cannot be updated because WPA3 has a hardware component.

Unfortunately, some apps no longer work. WhatsApp most notably, and sometimes photo loading on Facebook. Resolved by switching to 4g

@Bobo  If you are using an Apple IOS device that wants WPA3 as the default seciurity level where most ISP routers are on WPA2 and newer models coming out and you will find that most ISPs are playing catch up all the time.

 

Then you have to think that not everyone can have the newest devices and have to use older hardware.

If someone has helped give them Like.

If you have found this solution helpful please tick this as the answer.

I seriously doubt a typical MP knows WPA3 from SW1A.  Also difficult to imagine their intervention would influence the view  of the Apple Corporation on minimum desirable levels of wireless encryption very much.
