@null Wel without the WEB-UI this thing is useless to me and back to the store it goes. 

  @TP-Link I have remote installation of 4pcs Deco E4 units, all of them wired on ethernet backone. It seems to be that main Deco unit has problems because WiFi connection is not stable as wired device have and there are frequent outages of whole WiFi network. Having all of them on wired network and remote access there, it would be easy to reset WiFi network setup remotely via http access to all devices, e.g. swap role of main unit with an sattelite unit etc. Having App as the only one option I have to travel there to fix it.

Definitely the idea of simple App to setup WiFi network is great, but the default setup via App has to be tuned up pretty well to avoid necessity of further changes. Otherwise searching for setup options within App what are sank somewhere in deep under other options is crazy...

Your "fix" does nothing at all for those of us who already made the MISTAKE of investing in another CCP owned TP-Link Deco eco system that this board is all about.

If we had wanted to throw money away and trash the investment we have already made in TP-Link inadequate products only to purchase more from a vendor that does not seem to be responsive to customers I doubt any of us would be posting here.

" However, if you really need a web gui,  for a dollars more" only applies if one has not already made the mistake of investing hundreds or in some cases thousands in systems.

That is not the case if one is here looking for a fix.

The products they make are so dismal that the open source community does not even bother with firmware for it.

I'm flummoxed that TP-Link still hasnt' released a web gui to access the cloud for controlling Deco mesh networks, because I certainly could use it for the ~12 mesh networks I administer.

 

However, if you really need a web gui, for a few dollars more, you can get into the TP-Link Omada mesh environment and get more configuration options than you can shake a stick at.

- Multiple SSIDs

- Frequency selection

- DNS, DHCP, etc, etc, etc

 

Access points start at 89 bucks ea, and you don't need the hardware-based controller: you can install the controller on a PC, Raspberry Pi, or use TPLink's cloud.

 

Just be aware that the Omada units are (ideally) designed to run on POE. So if you need to set up an AP with an ethernet cable back to your wiring closet, be sure to get a 12v power supply for your unit (some units include the power supply).

 

Enjoy!

  @DoinitSideways if it aint broke dont fix ( unless the app only frustrates you to no end)

Personally it will most likely just end up doing your head in making changes and breaking poo.

If it were me and the bugs in Deco app were too much this would be my config with your gear.

AX90 as primary router (has web gui)..setup your ssid etc for your 2.4 network)

Reset and refire setup your Deco X95 as access points (you can use app to monitor those if needed)...your DHCP all handled by your AX90 and all devices connected to your decos will be all leased and appear in your AX90 gui. It will all work seamlessly and you have a webgui to have some more control over the settings that matter most

Hope this is helpful mate!

  @FiGgS 

seen your post about just using Deco as access points...

I have 2 x X95 decos currently as my main network and then have an Archer AX90 in AP mode running a 2.4 only network for my legacy dumb IoT devices...

would it be beneficial to use the AX90 as my primary router with the DECO just in AP mode instead?

my network is pretty reliable... around 60 devices over the 2 wifi networks and Ethernet connections.
