[URGENT] Upcoming iOS 14 marks Deco Router as "Weak Security"

Wifi security WPA2 AES and WPA3 are missing from Deco
Are you aware that upcoming (very soon) iOS 14 marks WPA/WPA2(TKIP) as "Weak Security" and refuses to connect to such networks by default?
iOS 14 is in Beta 8 state right now. It will be released to all iPhones/iPads in couple weeks.
Imagine what kind of feedback you will get in couple weeks when all iPhones/iPads will stop working with Deco??

The devices "might" stop connecting if there is no solution to that weak security issue in near future, because security speaks.
But now by the recent post of TP-Link we are sure that we are getting an update soon, so lets wait for the official release and see how that has been handled.
Meanwhile you are free to go for Beta upgrade as suggested by TP-Link, if you want.

I do not have the ability in the current deco app version from my iPhone SE 2020 or iPad mini 5th gen to install the beta firmware! Can you please provide an ETA in releasing a production firmware release that allows updating the Internet Security. It's surprising that the M5 does not have more than one Internet Security type to choose from when setting up a WiFi network.

Hello, may I have the model number of your Deco device? We have actually released a new official firmware for several models days ago, please check on your Deco app for the updates, or you may check the official website, we take Deco M5 as an example:

Hi, thanks for asking, while I'm wondering it's a Deco device? If it is a wireless router, you may just change its wireless security to WPA2-PSK AES, and you will get rid of the "weak security" warning.
