DECO M9 message on I-Phone 'Weak security'

2021-09-12 08:07:53

After instaling a new DECO M9 system, I see on the Iphone on the WIFI connection the message 'Weak security'.

Is there a frimware update available that gives the possibility to change the security settings to a safer encription?

@outtierrose

If you are on the newest firmware this should already be there, its just a matter of changing the encryption cypher

Open the Deco App and go to Settings, WiFi

Click on the security cyper, its likely to say WPA2 AES + WPA2 TKIP

Change this to WPA2 AES only.. that should sort it for you

TKIP is the older and more compatible of the two cyphers, however Apple devices report this as weak (which is is). AES was the replacement for it and is much better, however you may stop older devices connecting.. to be honest, they would have to be really old at this stage!
