What device and browser are you using ?

If you are just trying the access your sky hub settings then you are only accessing devices at a local level and should be able to bypass that warning without compromising your local devices

I have the same problem this morning after yesterday's major outage in Lancashire/NW. I'm just accessing wifi on an iPad - the router is the latest Sky model.

Thanks @cookiemonster for reply, it's on my iPhone..... we had a long outage yesterday and was sure it was that causing it but today it's still there??

I've only had the privacy warning since the outage. I think they are related.

@Fergus67 & @cathycmc the warning is unlikely to be related to the outage but more likely because your devices updated to a new version of ios. Go into the wifi settings on your device and click the blue information icon alongside the Sky wifi network and check the "private network" switch is on.

This issue is apparently specific to iOS from v14 onwards, and is Apple trying to be too clever (as usual)

So toggling the "private network" switch as per Chrisse message worked on my iPhone but not the iPad. But "forget network" worked on the iPad! Thanks for the help.

Thanks @Furgus67 that worked for me too 👍 

Thanks everyone else for the info 👍
