I did get the update to work. Will see if the issue still persists.

This isn't working for me. When I tap on password all that comes up is the password... I have Deco M9.

If your firmware is old you will not see it.

Hi, I just sent up my 3 pack of Deco Mesh 9+ units.  Hardware version 2.8, firmware v1.2.12 which the app says is the latest firmware  I'm using them in access point mode. My iphones are giving me the weak security message.  Based on the date of the post I'm replying to I'm surprised there is no official firmware release to fix this issue by now.  Hard to believe I paid $200 for obsolete firmware.  My questions are:

 

1.  I don't see any beta firmware to fix this listed for hardware version 2.8.  Am I missing something?

2.  The links for the installation utility go to the tp-link download page but I see no utility download.  The note in red gives explicit instructions for V2 hardware.  Do I follow that?

 

Please tell me where to find the utility and exactly what Beta firmware version I should be using. 

Thank you.

  @TP-Link 

I'm really disappointed that YEARS LATER my clients are still unable to update their expensive M9 firmware directly from the app. I can no longer recommend TPlink products for their home automation and network needs.  No more lightbulbs, switches, network routers, smart plugs or deco extensions.
