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 The phone app is both highly insecure and trash at the same time. You can't even port forward to an IP address. It's totally stupid. Everything about the software on these Deco APs is a step backwards from what TP-Link used to offer.
It's just an awful product.

1000% agree. I started months ago making sure my clients switch to alternate vendors.

@TP-Link PLEASE IMPLEMENT A FULL FEATURED WEB UI that at least matches the functionality of the phone UI.

For the love of god, please get a better web-based system to configure advanced settings and network setup. Users who want to use more advanced features and have more complex setups cannot keep struggling with this app which is geared towards those with no technical background.
If I cannot get a better UI through desktop, I will have to return this system. It is make or break for many users.

@TP-Link I just can't believe this... I setup everything using the app on day one, but now, I need to get the serious work done. The fixed IPs, the port fowarding, ... and not having a web app is almost a reason to send everyhing back to amazon.
I just can't comprehend how you thought just a mobile app would be enough. Clearly trying to segment your customers, but come on ! It is not that complicated to achieve. Hire a bunch of interns and 5-6 seniors for a quarter, couple guys on security...
