"Weak Wifi Security" on iOS 14 (beta) for Deco M5
hi,
the lack of WPA3 support OR the ability to disable WPA have been plaguing the Deco product line for quite a while.
as if to make things worse, it seems that new device operating systems (desktop and mobile) are now gradually starting to classify WPA networks as unsafe.
this is a major issue because it would mean that someone like me that has a work iPhone (and laptop) won't be able to connect to my home Wifi (Deco M5 x 6) because the corporate security agent grabs the network classification from the operating system.
it is true that this is currently "just" an issue with people using developer betas of their iOS, but this is going to publicly released in mid September which would make this a significant issue.
so it basically boils down to this -
what is the ETA on providing firmware that would support WPA3?
as a quick and simple alternative - how fast can you release a firmware that allows disabling WPA?
PLEASE don't bother replying with "we're working on it" etc.
just be honest and tell us if/when these modifications are going to be made. even an honest "we won't do it" answer is better than the answers we have been getting in the past 10-12 months.

Hi,
just been searching regarding this issue and found this old thread. Given that the beta was released 14 months ago is there a schedule for general release?

Hi, I see your firmware has been updated to 1.5.7 already and the weak security issue should not exist.
If you do, could you please send some screenshots of the error to me?
And when you click this error, normally it will direct you to the next page with some explanations about the errors and can I have this page as well?
PS: you could also send the pictures to support.forum@tp-link.com
Thank you very much.

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I've sent the email through now.
Having done so I can see my error is different to the original on this thread - mine is a Privacy warning, rather than a Security warning.
