major Wi-Fi router manufacturers, Apple proposes a number of adjustments you can make to enhance their security and optimize their performance.
While Apple’s advice is aimed at those using its devices, it is applicable to anyone with a Wi-Fi router, a dependable Wi-Fi mesh network, or access points. Below are some of Apple’s key suggestions for Wi-Fi routers.

It also complicates the process of cracking your Wi-Fi password due to this encryption. Nonetheless, Wi-Fi security protocols are usually refreshed with newer Wi-Fi versions to maintain their strength against contemporary requirements. Therefore, instead of sticking with the default or opting for an older protocol, Apple advises adopting WPA3 Personal on your router. This is the most recent version and is compatible with devices that support Wi-Fi 6 and later.

The first Lego Smart Brick sets, based on Star Wars, aren’t quite what my kids and I hoped, and I suspect much of that’s down to programming.
