Your Deco M9 Plus has old firmware. It is version 1.2.12 from 2019, three years old. The latest version is 1.5.6. When you update M9 Plus to the latest version, you'll see the option to choose WPA2.

 

That old firmware can't be updated through Deco app. You'll have to do it by other, less convenient, means. See this TP-Link FAQ article: How to Update the Firmware of Deco

@RajatBoon It supports WPA & WPA2.

 

You can select it by going to the Deco app, then Wi-Fi settings> security (in the new version of the app).

Just a M4 (2-pack) user who regrets buying it

  @David-TP  any further suggestions? Since my app does not have the options you have mentioned?

It is possible you have really old Deco M9 Plus firmware version.

Please open in Deco app More/System/Update Deco and after it populates - make screenshot and share here. It will help to understand what Deco firmware version(s) you have.

Also, other than Deco M9 Plus, do you happen to have other Deco models in your mesh? Deco M3W, perhaps?
