Wifi security WPA2 AES missing in Deco M9 Plus?
![](/avatar/avatar-17.png)
I am trying to connect my car ( Volvo XC60 ) to my Wifi. The car wants me to change WPA2 to AES instead of TKIP!
So no connection!
Connection to another Wifi router with WPA2 AES is OK!
I can not find any place in the Deco M9 settings to change Wifi security!
Any clues??

@TP-Link_Deco Has anyone tried this yet? I'm scared to install a beta firmware on my decos

Had this from support:
Due to Covid pandemic, there has been some delays. But rest assured we will be releasing the updates soon as our HQ R&D team is working on it.

@TP-Link_Deco Add my voice to the number of unhappily surprised new customers who can't believe this is an issue. I just moved and set up a new system with M5s. Tried to change the security (foolishly thinking something this new would be able to do-I mean I could do it on routers years ago) and was shocked to find that it isn't available. These will probably be returned if this isn't addressed within my return window. I can guarantee if that happens I won't be replacing them with a TP-Link product.

+1 for another customer asking when this feature update will be available?
Why can't you give us what other routers and devices have been giving us for 10 years? I see you have bee doing firmware updates, but for features nobody has asked for (like "smart" commands).
I'm giving it another week before I will simply have to return my Deco M5 (so I am within my product return window) and get another product. It's absurd that this feature has been an afterthought. Especially when you consider iOS and Android are just about to release the new versions of their software which will render these devices useless, warning you every time you try and connect to these networks which are forced to run the outdated WPA protocol.
If you can't offer us any solid indication as to *when* an update that allows us to choose "WPA 2 Only" will be available, I strongly encourage EVERYBODY here to return their devices and get another brand. It's simply not worth it having such a gaping security hole in their network, no matter how much more "convenient" TPLink thinks it is for the end-user.

Any progress? This is the second TPLink product i bought that leaves out a key feature. The Deco 9 can't adopt AES, the Kaza switch can not change WiFi networks without a complete reset and reconfiguration. Your Product desigbn and engineering teams should be fired.
