Moving from WPA2 to WPA3 Personal

Apple has recommended changing from WPA2 to WPA3 Personal after a privacy warning.  Does anyone know if this can be done?  I can't see a way via the Smart Router.  Thanks.

Yes, but not with any of EE's current routers. There are not yet many routers on the market supporting WPA3. There are no security issues with WPA2 AES.

@RPT1  As Apple say themselves,

 

"WPA2 and WPA3 authenticate each connection and provide 128-bit AES encryption to help ensure confidentiality of data sent over the air. This grants users the highest level of assurance that their data remains protected when they’re sending and receiving communications over a Wi-Fi network connection."

You cannot change to WPA 3 unless you have a router that supports it and they are as rare as chicken teeth.
