TL-WA850RE v2.0 - OSX Big Sur shows "Weak Security"
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
OSX BigSur shows "Security Warning" with this Range-Extender.
It is set to WPA2 Personal and as NetSpot Screenshot shows, it's communicating with that Standard/Protocol.
So why does OSX tell it's insecure ?

airport -s command shows the following, so i guess warning is because of TKIP being offered
# /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport -s
SSID BSSID RSSI CHANNEL HT CC SECURITY (auth/unicast/group)

how can i make sure that the client (iphone, android phone, osx macbook, win10 notebook) is connected with WPA2/AES or disable TKIP ?

Hi, have you tried to reset the 850RE V2 once, and set it up again via web UI, not WPS or Tether APP？
Wait for your reply.
Best regards.

@David-TP thanks, but i have freshly setup this device via factory reset.
it should automatically derive wifi security settings based on those active on the main router?
apparently, it does not work.

Thank you for the update.
I will follow up on your case via email and check with the senior engineer to see whether he had other suggestions. Please check whether you could get an email from me later.
