Deco Configuration Backup
Seems like this has been requested many times across the Deco line, but there is no backup function for my Deco unit. I've checked in the mobile app and browser.
Many many reasons why this is a must have already been shared.
For me, it took me many hours to add all my DHCP reservations, update device names, etc inside the mobile app. It is imperative that we be able to back up all of this configuration work. Many stories of people losing all their work as their main unit crashes.
I read on one single thread that config data may be stored in the TPLink cloud. I haven't been able to find any other evidence to support this. Is this true?

Today I find acessing deco configuration througth the webpage, and finally saw the option to backup router settings to a file.
I'm currently on 1.5.0 firmware version on my Deco S7.
Best regards.

@zdeseb Honestly shocked they stuill havent provided this yet - As soon as I find some other Mesh APs on sale (by a manufacturer who listens to thier users) I'll be switching away.

That's really interesting @Anderson_R - as the S7 is a slightly older unit, with slower speeds (and no wifi 6?) so you'd think the newer ones would just build upon the previous features but clearly they have messed up or rewritten the firmware from scratch and omitted the backup feature as it's not present on X55s with Firmware 1.55:
I wonder if it's included on the more expensive, newer units, and touted as a 'feature', when it's really a basic need.

Since they are not willing to listen or respond to these issues, perhaps we should place appropriate feedback in the app stores. At least this way we can warn others to stay away from these useless routers. They are simply Wifi units, nothing more that is practically useable.
The more negative feedback in the app stores, the better for everyone.
