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 I live out in the sticks w/almost no cell coverage. This is very frustrating to need cell coverage in order to set this system up.

I received my Deco BE9300 today and I was honestly shocked to see the web UI complete useleness. I managed to setup everything via the app, but why would anyone do that when you have a perfectly good monitor, mouse and keyboard that could make the whole process 5 times faster?
The app works but it wasn't a superior experience to a web base configuration wizard at all, if anything it is a lot less responsive than a web page that runs directly on the router. I get the remote control capabilities, but those are topically for advanced users who would know how to set them up anyway...

@TP-Link I'm sorely disapointed with the severe lack of a working web interface. Someone in marketing dropped the ball guys. I work for a major retailer in electronics and I'll be letting all of my customers know that while the app is just OK for setup; the system as a whole is awful for actual administration.
I'm going back to netgear
Farewell

Even more insidious is that TP-Link essentially manages our devices from their "cloud server". That gives them complete control over our networks.
1. When they decide it's time for us to upgrade hardware, they simply shut off our routers.
2. They have complete access to all data on our networks.
3. If the company decides to no longer support these devices, they simply turn off their servers and we're SOL.

Owner of a Deco X55 Pro here. Today I was surprised to find that the advanced features are not present in the web interface, which I thought was a basic thing in any router, and so far it had been like that in the ones I have had.
I have no complaints about any TP Link device I have bought, so far I have it with this "small" detail, which if I had known I think I would have considered another option before buying this mesh system.
According to this topic, there have been years of customers clamoring for this feature to be included in the web interface, with no response from @TP-Link. Very very bad!

@Palinair you can't even choose which wireless channels to use :) even from this mighty app. It's a joke. Not to mention the app is very slow to load, some times taking up to 5 minutes to reload the network map. Also, the traffic monitor is useless, getting stuck most of the times.
No wonder the USA is planning to ban TP-Link lol.

Another useless to us product as we have no android or apple and never will.
Just another useless amazon return.
