EDIT - I think I figured out the issue, I disabled WPA3 and I'm no longer getting the weak security warning. I guess it must be an issue with mixed mode and my router causing the issue.

 

I'm having this issue with my RE300 V2. I confirmed the settings on my main router are using only WPA2 and my iPhone doesn't display weak security settings when I connect to it. Can this be fixed in a firmware update please?

 

Firmware Version :
1.0.1 Build 210623 Rel.33906n (6765)
Hardware Version :
RE300 2.0

 Hello @Baggins111 

Thank you for the feedback,can I know the model of your router and what is security type e.g. WPA3/WPA2 mixed? 

Did you notice what is security type of the range extender when router is on WPA3? 

 

To use WPA3, here are TP-Link range extender  TP-Link WPA3 Devices which have WPA3 capability.

  @Solla-topee 

Hello, 

I have the RE200 V2 and I downloaded and installed the latest firmware (RE200_V2_221012). I also factory resetted my extender after installing the latest firmware but I still get the weak security notice. 

Can you please help? 

Thanks

Hi   @fernandog 

Thank you for reaching out.   Can you Start a New Thread  so other moderators can take a closer look at your case, thank you 

Please confirm router's Wi-Fi security setting is on WPA/WPA2-PSK (AES)  and you can share a photo of the Wireless setting of router in the new thread, that would be helpful, thankyou!

hello,

regarding TL-WA850RE v2.0 - OSX Big Sur shows "Weak Security" :


- how do i disable TKIP/Mixed-Mode for TL-WA850RE v2.0  ?
OR
- how can i get rid of the "weak security messages in iOS and OSX ?
OR
- how can i verify that my iphone/macbook is connecting securely via AES and not TKIP (to be sure that i can tell everyone that he is safe and can ignore this message) ?

thank you!

After trying so many things eventually got rid of the issue by restarting the Wi-Fi router and your iPhone before you connect to the Wi-Fi.
