Model: Deco X20  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 1.5.5 Build 20240718 Rel 44414

I have three X-20 Deco installed at my place. Out of which two are having 1.5.5 Build 20240718 Rel 44414 (V4) and third is having release of 1.2.4 Build 20241227 Rel 63367.  (V3)

All my devices on Primary Network are WAP3 compliant. Hence, i am always setting Encryption to WAP3. However, it looks after few days Deco is automatically replacing it with WAP2 and also disabling the Device Isoliation. Is this a known Issue with Deco or someone is trying to hack the Deco Router? Any idea. If it is defect, can you Please help in getting a fix for this problem. I have to keep on updating it from app after every few days.

 

Also, for IOP Network, Deco does not provide any option for WAP3 Encryption. Can you Please work with RnD and help in getting a fix for that as well?

I have no idea why it's changing your settings on you

 

@David-TP Have you had reports about this before?

Need help with the Deco app, setup, Ethernet backhaul, network switch or rolling back firmware? Router or AP mode? https://community.tp-link.com/us/home/forum/topic/699816?page=1

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

Deco X20_V3.0 has received firmware upgrades in the past few weeks, and it is suggested to manually update to the following version:

Deco X20(EU)_V3_1.3.0 Build 20250722

(You could find the IP address for the satellite Deco X20 on the Deco APP>Device Settings and access to the individual web UI of the satellite Deco.)

 

After the firmware upgrade, if the same issue repeats again, could you please refer to this link to help me submit the Deco APP log:

How to submit Deco APP log

 

For the request of WPA3 support over IOT network, it is still under evaluation as most smart home devices still haven't added WPA3 security, and you can subscribe to this post and vote to add more support: IoT-Network option for WPA2/WPA3

 

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.

  @HelpFixDecoApp Earlier i was using WAP2/WAP3-Personal, so did not noticed it. Last month i switched it to WAP3 , post which every week seeing the same issue. I have also observed few threads on internet where other users have also reported similar problem, hence assuming it might be a defect.
