Wanting to use a separate Sky sim for a hot spot on my Sky Q box

[jackiebarley]

I have been let down by a Vodafone Gigacube (mobile broadband)  I have used my Sky mobile to tether to my computer as a WiFi hot spot and it works well. So I tried to get my Sky Q box to use this hot spot. I did as suggested by other users and I did manage to turn the hot spot on but then got the message for other networks. Enter the name (SSID) of your network and Security  , , it shows all the WPA types and then none.

I did see the hot spot on/off and turned it to on but I do not see my iPhone which is a Sky mobile with a Sky/O2 sim

I think this is an Apple issue: by default their current OS releases apply WPA3 security to a 'hotspot', but a Sky box cannot use WPA3.  You'll need to find the setting on the iPhone to knock hotspot security down to WPA2.

That setting may be cunningly disguised here:
