WIFI security

[gammy999]

Yes, I upgraded by firmware on my TP DECO M5 mesh today and it implemented the more secure WPA2-PSK[AES]...cameras would not come back online...I have these models IP4M-1026 and IP3M-941...all purchased between dec 2017 and sept 2018....will these not work with WPA2 - PSK [AES]? tks

I have all 3 of my cameras connected by ethernet but I just tried one of the IP3M-941's on wi-fi and it negotiated a WPA2-AES connection to my router without any problem except that I saw in the router that the negotiated speed was only 6Mbps in both directions despite the camera saying that the signal strength was 80% which seems very strange. My iPhone is showing as having a synchronous 300Mbps from the same location.

Thanks longedge for doing that...my camera is December 6, 2017 bought...so a little older. I switched from my ATT router/modem to this new MESH and the firmware upgrade to the mesh was security related (adding WPA2 - PSK [AES]) support. But on ATT I think it defaulted to WPA2 - PSK [AES] and the cameras worked on it.....so it may be something else.....maybe a channel setting for 5ghz and 2.4ghz? not sure...open to ideas..tks

I can't really help further but I can add that I have 2.4 GHz disabled on my router, it was on 5GHz.

Are you using a fixed IP. If so, has that changed with the update?

[gammy999]

my outside cameras are 2.4 only...the one 941 can do both so I have to have 2.4/5 on. I am using DHCP on my router with ipv4 set as dynamic ip and ipv6 disabled.

Only other thing I can suggest is to do a factory reset and start again from scratch.

well it's working with the firmware upgrade to the mesh units...just using the old wifi security it was using before the upgrade...so, it is working....doubt I have many hackers tks again.
