Model: Archer C7  
Hardware Version: V5
Firmware Version: 1.0.15 Rel 630501

After updating to IOS 14 get weak security on my Apple Devices

I changed my wireless setting ver from auto to PSK and encryption to AES

This got rid of the error.

Is this good fix and will they issue a update for it ?

 

Thanks

Hi, as mentioned earlier, if you have changed the wireless security to WPA2-AES, you can get rid of the "weak security" notice, so there are no security concerns about it. The reason why there is no security reminding when connecting to your Linksys EA7300, I assume it pre-set the security to WPA2 AES by default.

Hi, this issue is because iOS14 and some new operating systems consider other than the latest WPA3 and WPA2 AES to have security issues. It is suggested to modify and change the wireless security on the Archer C7 to WPA2-PSK, AES and your network will be encrypted with better security.

 

Nice day~

Put my old Linksys EA7300 online and it works fine with the default settings

Wonder if tp-link will fix it ?

Just checked on the Linksys and it is setup for WPA2 Personal. Does not even mention AES
