[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.

Hi,
It attempts to refresh but stops after a second.
Prior to Deco M5 1.5.0 it was updating and took around 30 seconds.
See attached screen recording.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
I have a network composed of 3 X60 (V1.0) and 2 M4R (V2.0). The M4R updated themselves, but when I tried to update the X60, it seems to have a similar firmware as the beta. I am on Build 20200709 Rel. 46606. The beta is: x60-SP1-up-ver1-2-5-P1[20200922-rel54037]_2020-09-22_15.07.18
So, is the beta identical? Because if I try to update manually, it gives a Operation Failed message.
Thank you!

Hi, thanks for asking.
Currently we only have the beta firmware for the X60 while there is an official firmware for Deco M4R, that's why you can update the Deco M4R via the APP update. If you want to upgrade the Deco X60 to the latest beta, you will need to update it manually, as there is no update on the APP. You can refer to the download link in my post and there is a guide in it.
BTW, you can also wait for days, we will soon release the official version for the Deco X60 as well. Thanks.

Hi
I'm using M4R(2.0), and both at the iOS app (v 2.3.9) and the web interface, there is no new firmware update available.
Current version: 1.4.2 Build 20200727 Rel. 37987.
Is the firmware released only to certain parts of the world yet?
I'm in Norway.
Cheers.
Edit:
I also tried to download the firmware v 1.4.3 from the M4R support firmware page, and manually upload and install it from the web interface. I get a message that it is uploading, and a confirmation that it was successful. But after that, nothing happens.
