@TP-Link_Deco Same here. This is a must-have; it's so standard, I didn't even check the specs before purchasing the product... Shame, because the hardware is great.

Hi all, thanks for asking again.

 

We have actually released the beta firmware for the Deco device to allow you to change the security type now, please refer to the below post for more details:
https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/227662

 

Good days.

@TP-Link_Deco 

 

While we appreciate there is a beta firmware available, I am, like many others, waiting for the official release.

 

I think the TP-Link community deserves now a firm date for the official release fixing this serious issue. 

 

Kindly escalate this ticket (unless you already did so), push it again and again, make it your personal priority and please find a solution for us!

 

Many thanks! 

I was happy to notice the official firmware update is finally available, update was successfull, and security is now by default WPA2-PSK [AES].

For older device compatibility one can now enable also TKIP in the Deco app.

Finally. Thanks.

@daBowmore 

is this the same as the beta?

@SrDarkWarrior I'm not sure, I decided not to install the beta, and waited for this official release.

@TP-Link_Deco not quite right on what you say though. My iPhone latest iOS14 tells me that I'm using weak security for my Deco. It supports AES but Deco doesn't connect it there. Being able to let users select is a standard on most routers I'd seen and I was surprised that this feature is missing in Deco.

@d8nnii try the latest update now available in the Deco app. It finally has the option to disable the TKIP (low security) option completely!

Hi, I install the beat firmware 1.4.3 for my Deco M9 Plus V2, and now our iphone now say that the network is secured. thanks.

Let the community know if you have any inquiries, thanks a lot~

Hello. I have succesfully updated my decos firmware and now my ios devices no more bugging me about weak security. I cannot see though on deco settings the option to choose my wifi security. I run my decos on access point mode
