【Resloved】RE455 is broadcasting TKIP instead of AES
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I just got new RE455 Range Extender
Firmware: 1.0.0 Build 20191209 Rel. 52814
Hardware: RE455 v1.0
And I am worried that it boradcasts TKIP protocol while my router only CCMP. I want to disable TKIP but here is no options for that.
PYV-HOME-EXT and PYV-HOME5G-EXT are broadcasted by RE455
PYV-HOME and PYV-HOME5G are broadcasted by router (it's Keenetic Giga)
I saw there is a firmware update with fix for that issue for RE450. But see no options for RE455.
Is there any updates for this extender? Thanks

@TP-Link Thank you for the beta firmware. I tested it, but in my case it does not resolve the issue.
I updated to the new firmware, confirmed that the device shows the new firmware number after update, did a full reset, reparameterized my network. Yet, I still have TKIP enabled, wheras the source network is only AES. Is there anything I can do to help find a solution?
Kind regards, MB

@bam94 Hello,
Factory reset RE and resin tall after you update the beta firmware
reset: with RE powered on, use a pin to push the reset hole until all the Led flash once
Note: If you use Tether app to installl the RE, make sure Tether is up to date in Google play or APP store first before install RE
This should fix the problem , if not, please share a photo of your current firmware and photo showing weak security, may I know the model of router as well,thank you.

@TP-Link the recommended firmware update doesnt work to remove the security warning. Is there another way to remove the weak security message? I am not able to login to my company VPN with that setting, which means the extender is not usable. Thank you.
