Hi
I have a 4G EE Home Router 2017
Following an Apple Update I now get a message on various Apple devices that
'WPA/WPA2 (TKIP) not considered secure' It suggest I need WPA2 (WES) or WPA3.
Am i able to change to these on my home router and if so, how do I do that please?
Thx

You should be able to. I'm not familiar with this particular mobile router but it should be similar to the following:
Login to your MBB router at http://192.168.1.1 with username/pwd as "admin"/"admin". Then on the WiFi Settings tab change the WiFi to:
Security = WPA2 PSK
if it's not already, as it should be.

Thanks for trying but it just has WPA2 nothing else as an option. Do you know if the latest routers '4G Home Router 2' and '4G WIFI MINI 2020' are configured to this 'higher' security already or capable of it - I am due an upgrade anyway. On the website under the tech specifications it doesn't say anything about security configuration.
Thanks

Actually I missed a tab 'Encryption' which had an 'AES' option. Clicking that seems to make it work. Thanks
