[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.

Hello, if you have a Deco M4R, you can update and use the beta firmware for Deco M4(R), which will allow you to change the security type.

Hello, glad to hear that the security warning has gone away after upgrading your Deco to the beta firmware.

Hello, there is currently no web browser for the M3W, you may just log in to the web UI of the main Deco, then search for the M3W in the network, and update its firmware.

When can we expect the official firmware for M9 Plus with WPA2-AES and Network Optimization Feature?
Will Network Optimization Work for 5 GHz Band as well or only 2.4 GHz Band?
You keep repeating that feature request like channel selection, USB Port Functionality have been forward to the development team can you please update which of these request have been accepted by the development team and and what features can we expect through firmware updates in like next 6 months or so?

@TP-Link_Deco how do you get the files with the beta to work? Do you have to download them via a laptop or desktop? Please post specific directions if possible. Thank you! (I tried on my iPhone and couldn't do anything with that zipped file.)
