If you're prepared to pay for it, true. But there is no need to change unless there is another reason to do so.

The SuperHub 2 has the same WPA2 security in it as the Hub 3.0 does.

The difference is the default password on the Hub 3.0 is longer and has more character variation than the SuperHub 2 does by default.

So if you update your wireless password to twelve characters with mix of upper case, lower case and numbers, then it'll be just as secure.
