Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I understand that ssh has only been made available on port 22 for use with the Deco app. However, this is extremely limiting and frustrating as now I'm unable to use ssh for anything whilst connected to the mesh. It has had a seriously negative impact on my ability to work from home and I can't understand why you wouldn't make this configurable.

@ACEHACK My guess is the person(s) who make the decisions walk around all day (and night) with their phone in their hand.  An app to browse the web, an app for email, an app for taking notes, an app for ... scheduling taking a leak.  And every one a pretty icon.  Why would anyone want to use the command line?  And if I roll that way - everybody else should roll that way.

@liderbug I agree, I have not completely abandoned my Vodafone router. I am amazed that I cannot ssh ito any of my devices. I want to add a headless Raspberry Pi to act as a network server. Is anyone able to advise on this?

 

I am making a new thread on this issue....

I'm currently looking at my M4's System Error Log and it says:

Wed Jan 12 14:47:14 2022 daemon.err uhttpd[5589]: Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

 

I'd love to be able to try this commend.  Please let me have access to an SSH command line interface.

@TP-Link 

 

SSH configuration would be a great way to allow more advanced users to customize things that you can't find a good place for on the app UI.

 

I totally understand the target market the deco is shooting for... the "set and forget" non-technical home user.  And for that, yes... it works great!  Unfortunately, you are limiting yourselves by excluding a whole group of home users with enough technical knowledge to tinker and customize.  If you want to keep the simple, clean, and idiot-proof app UI and also make everyone complaining on your forums happy then implement some of these more advanced feature requests and make them accessible through SSH.  A few simple config files here and there, perhaps a couple custom shell script and it's a win/win.

I am finding that the Deco Mesh system is only intended for "Routers for Dummies" type of people. TP-Link refuses to provide tools for the techincally savy users. Even a simple web based interface that allows for configuration changes is too much to ask for. I suppose we will have to flood Amazon and other sellers with bad reviews of this product until they make changes. Hey Deco, configurable SSH and a usable web interface is a NECCESSITY not a wish list. Headed to Amazon to leave my review now...

TP-Link's marketing department needs to walk over to the developer's area. I am betting that the developers are writing code on a COMPUTER and not a phone. GIVE US TOOLS THAT WORK!!!! I am asking everyone to hit up Amazon or other vendors and leave bad reviews until Deco provides useable tools.
