I've recently changed to Sky broadband and when connecting on my mobile (iPhone ) beneath the WiFi details it shows weak security which a huge concern for me. What should I do?

Apple chooses to display that for WiFi using encryption below WPA3: only the Max Hub supports that. The mainstream routers from all the other major ISPs also fall below this standard, which only Apple identifies as 'weak'.

Thank you for replying. So I take it that it's safe to use the WiFi on my phone?
I'm not a "techie" person I'm afraid. 😟

Apple needs the security to be at least WPA2-PSK (AES) which all routers support including Sky's Hubs. One should confirm that this is the case in the Sky router settings.
There is no warning message on WPA2-PSK (AES) and Apple doesn't need WPA3 currently.
