Web UI Configuration
The initial plan of the Deco Whole Mesh system is to configure via Deco APP as we hope to provide a super-easy installation and non-high tech required experience.
Due to this commitment, Deco APP allows us to quickly and easily install Mesh Wi-Fi System by just following the step-by-step set-up wizard. Some users commented, ”This thing literally holds your hand through the full setup. 99% of people will hit next, next, next, and you are on the internet” which is just what we want.
Next, Deco App allows monitoring the home Wi-Fi from anywhere without bringing a laptop and making changes right from your smartphone or tablet. So as long as taking your smartphone with you, the home network activity is under your control.
Then, with a few taps on the APP, the advanced features, like Parental Control, Port Forwarding, and QoS are ready to go.
Moreover, when it comes to firmware upgrades, the Deco APP will automatically push a message when new firmware is ready. All you need to do is click “Update Deco”.
While, with the time going on, we gradually received some feedback that users hope Deco could be configured via web UI or more advanced features could be configured on the web interface. Unfortunately, there has been no plan to add these features yet.
But we are open to any feedback and would be appreciated it if you could let us know why you prefer web configuration to APP setup. So we would collect more brilliant ideas which might be taken into consideration along with the future APP upgrade.
Thank you very much for your attention and please feel free to comment below.

@TP-Link Like all the other users posting here a Web UI is crucial. Trying to make all the modification and settings changes via a handheld device is slow and cumbersome. It is not worth the price for the product without a proper web interface.

@TP-Link You guys need to have access to the home network through a normal destop and web browser. If not, many people might return your router. Please resolve this issue ASAP.

Not only is this feature much desired by the community, clearly (it is the #1 wanted feature!), but what is more important is that it is *actually needed*. When somehow the wifi gets disabled for any reason (for example nightly shutdown of wifi), but then does not get re-enabled (for whatever reason, for example a time sync issue), there is literally no way to turn it back on as the app won't work without wifi. The only thing the web interface will show you is that it is "off". In other words, you have to do a complete setup reset only to fix an issue which could be a simple selection box in a web interface. PLEASE, TP-Link, **LISTEN** to your community and FIX THIS.

@TP-Link - I also would like to have a web interface for managing my Deco devices. It's far easier to manage things on a large screen.

@Neuro613 TP link doesnt care, they continue to sell their sheet to unknowing and less knowledgeable people who only find out how their products suck once they try and set their products up or do any trouble shooting, once their lame firmware/software starts to fail
Its funny how people keep posting here, begging tp link to do somethign about it; well, vote with your wallets and stop buying this junk, and make sure you tell everyone you know on every social media platform the same thing
this is an example of a horrible CHINESE JUNK company making millions off the backs of unsuspecting folks

@TP-Link We need a WebUI for these units. I was getting ready to purchase a delco 5400 unit but when I found out it has nt WebUI, I just don't think I can do it. I am a IT guy and i like my WebUI or CLI to do my confiigs with. A phone/tablet app just not it.

@TP-Link
Ridiculous oversight! I purchased a lot of your Deco's to setup for clients who are not tech savvy. How in the world am I supposed to do that via a trash phone app? Returning them all and giving you a 1 star review for poor customer service.
Looking at 36 pages worth of complaints proves that you don't care about our feedback and requests.

@TP-Link Completely UNACCEPTABLE answer, especially when copy/pasted dozens of times.
LISTEN to your customers! Your forced use of a phone app through a third party cloud with no guarantees of long term support is simply not acceptable.
Just listen to your customers and give us a standard functionality of totally off-line configuration.
