Hey

If you are intending to use a MESH setup then yes you will need a controller online, however this can be either Software or a Hardware controller (OC200/300)

The link below should take you to the software controller download, yes it is available and the cost is free.

@Philbert thank you for the reply. This software controller doesn't work in India. It says coming soon.

You can use the software controller in the EN official website.

Please refer to this link: https://www.tp-link.com/en/support/download/omada-software-controller/

Normally, it is suggested for you to run the controller all the time. So the hardware controller is maybe more suitable.

You can check more detailed information about mesh network in the following link:
