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 Please add a usable web interface please? I know you don't listen to us anymore, but this is highly requested and for some a must. While the app is servicable, to really configure the routers, we need a web interface.

You are not open to any feedback or this thing would be done with a web UI.

They do not care what the customers want.
All they care about is the ability to spy on users.
That said if you want to go through the hassle of using the app with a larger screen you could try screen casting your phone to a pc.
You could also try using BlueStacks, it is a android emulation program that is free to use on pc so you get a bigger screen.
All that said the app sucks no matter what compared to any webUI on any router setup.

It's obvious now that TPLink is owned and controlled by the ChiComs and as such don't care what any of us think. It's time to boycott all of their spy products.

@TP-Link The web ui configuration is easier to use because of the larger screen. Features are easier to access because there is room enough all the needed information can be seen at one time. Tasks can be completed without having to change screens several times.
It appears to me that the only value to having the configuration on a cell phone is that you can carry it with you. I have no interest in trying to manage my router from a distant place on a cell phone.

@TP-Link I just bought the AXE5400 Pro and will be returning it due to the lack of web UI.

@TP-LinkIt is absolutely ridiculous notion that everyone is exclusively performing everything on their mobile phone.Those of us, who like to have complete control over our network and assign static IP addresses and do other advanced configurations: we don't want to do it on the phone, we do it on a computer.
Additionally: on your phone app: it is actually not even possible to manually assign IP addresses to any of the devices, it is an absolute and horrid nightmare....the app that is...
Whoever thought that completely eliminating the advanced router configuration options from a computer's browser should be fired immediately....
This is the reason why I am returning your mesh router..... I can't work with this.....
