@AnonyOne 

Hello, sorry for any confusion caused by different beta firmware on the community.

As you mentioned, the 1.5.0 version was firstly released for Deco M5 at the very beginning, which adds the option to change the security type on the basis of some in-progress features, such as Network Optimization, it is not allowed to downgrade to the previous 1.4.9 version. It is suggested to wait for the new 1.5.0 version in the near future.

Thanks a lot~

Hello, what is the model number of your Deco device? We have released a new official firmware for some models already, please check for the updates on your Deco app.

@TP-Link_Deco 

Thank you for your quick reply.

I have the latest version according to the system page which is 1.4.9. It seems to be functioning normal now. 

@PhilTheThrill 

Thanks a lot for the update. Please monitor if the issue you reported earlier will occur again.

@TP-Link_Deco 

Hi,

I originally updated my Deco M5 to the 1.5.0 beta firmware when it was first published before you changed the link to 1.4.9 to avoid the low security messages on Apple devices.

I have noticed that on the antivirus page it has not updated since the 14th September which seems a long time before releasing a security update.

Manually updating it comes back and says it is up-to-date and disabling the option completely, rebooting Deco and turning on again makes no difference.

Be interesting to know if other 1.5.0 users on the M5 have a similar issue.

Thanks

Michael

I also just updated my M9+ and do not see an option to change the security.

Hello, thanks for reporting. What if you click on Tap to refresh? Will it try to refresh? How about you send us a short video showing this issue that it won't refresh?

@TP-Link_Deco 

how about for archer AX50??? same issue here, weak security.

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. This is because iOS14 and some new operating systems consider other than the latest WPA3 and WPA2 AES to have security issues.

 

Why Deco network is displayed as “Weak Security”?

Deco by default secures your wireless network with a mixed WPA/WPA2-AES/TKIP security, and it is not manually configurable. We currently only have the Deco X20 and Deco X60 support WPA3 security, and we will add more:

What to do?

We will soon release official firmware for the Deco devices to allow you to change the wireless security type in weeks, please keep an eye on your Deco app for the updates.

If you do worry about your network security and want to get rid of the “weak security” warning immediately, we have prepared the beta firmware for the Deco devices, you may update your Deco devices to this beta firmware as per your Deco models. We updated the download link in case there are models in your Deco network that don't support this feature yet to change the wireless security:

Note:

1. Once updated to this beta firmware, your Deco network security will be set to WPA2-PSK (AES) by default. If some of your old IoT devices cannot connect to the Deco network anymore, you need to change the security back to the mixed WPA2-PSK (AES)+WPA-PSK (TKIP) as your devices don’t support the newer AES version.

 

2. To change the security type on your Deco app, ensure you are running the latest Deco app on your phone, Android version 2.2.1, and iOS 2.2.2.

Launch your Deco app->MORE->Wi-Fi, tap the password box and you will be able to change the Security Type:

3. You can only update this beta firmware via your Deco device web interface: https://www.tp-link.com/support/faq/1599/

 

Let the community know if you have any further inquiries, thanks a lot~
