Solution Weak secuirty issue on the IOS system
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Background:
Some of you may have updated your Apple devices to the latest iOS 14 version and get a “Weak Security” warning message when connecting to the Deco network.
Why Deco network is displayed as “Weak Security”?
Deco by default secured your wireless network with a mixed WPA/WPA2-AES/TKIP security, and the previous firmware was not allowed to manually configure the security mode. While iOS14 and some new operating systems consider other than the latest WPA3 and WPA2 AES to have security issues.
Solution:
1. The latest firmware version has allowed users to manually configure the security mode; Please make sure that you have updated Deco to the latest firmware;
2. Please ensure you are running the latest Deco app on your phone;
Then Launch your Deco app->MORE->Wi-Fi, tap the password box and you will be able to change the Security Type:
Note:
1. Sometimes Deco APP might fail to get the latest firmware upgrade notification, please also check on the local official website to ensure you have the latest firmware;
2. After changing the security mode to WPA2-PSK (AES) only, If some of your old IoT devices cannot connect to the Deco network anymore, you could change the security back to the mixed WPA2-PSK (AES)+WPA-PSK (TKIP) as your devices might not support the newer AES version.

@TP-Link_Deco Hi i have upgraded my Deco m9 plus version 1.1 with the Beta firmware 1.4.3. Unfortunately can't I find the wired units on the network anymore. They appear to be offline.
Is there a way to downgrade tp 1.4.2 again?
@PatrikM9 solved by resetting (removing) all three decos from the network. And set them up as new units again.

Hello, may I know the model number of your Deco devices? Please try to restart all Deco nodes after updating the firmware successfully.
If the restart doesn't help either, try to reset all the Deco units and add them back one by one again via the Deco app.
