Will EE Issue a Firmware Update to enable WPA-3 for EE Smart Hub?

Andyc999 · ‎05-01-2022

Hi Everyone

Don't know if you've noticed that WPA-3 wireless security is now available in Windows 10 & 11, if you have compatable hardware.

This is obviously more secure than WPA-2, which is the most secure type of WiFi available on the smart hub with firmware version v0.06.01.08190-EE.

Does anyone know if EE plan to issue a firmware update for the smart hub to enable this feature, and is there any news regarding IPV-6?

I was told that IPV-6 would be enabled over 2 years ago, but it's still unavailable.

Don't hold your breath. There aren't that many routers supporting WPA3 anyway.
Again, EE does not support IPv6 on its home BB network.

When EE decides to implement either of these, it will announce it & not before.

Then maybe they Should stop paying Kevin bacon to tell everyone they are the best at everything and implement the most up to date security settings to keep their customers safe and IPv6 because it’s a joke the amount of hurdles and get arounds I have to do to get it to work honestly their just a disgrace and soon as I find a decent alternative i will be throwing their equipment in the trash where it belongs

@Owen7141 Like what hurdles ? And EE can say that they are the best because it’s awarded to them not just because it can be said.
