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 hey man! As you said full Control of tplink web-based ui you Don't allow to customers to get it as administration purposes, But mind it that TP link will loss of their customers if they've this silly idea. What happened to me using this Deco product that i have had a bad experience is that I'm gonna explain now __ here in my region, for 2.4ghz the best channels are 1,6 & 11 that doesn’t overlap but deco always stay connected using different channels which are most congested and busy, as a result the signal strength can't go farther and drop at around 12 to 16 feet that i discovered using different apps/method moving around my environmen,, so manually channel and its width selection is urgent necessary. This issue could be solved if there was a chance to get its web-based administration but Alas!! Bulshit! This TPLINK's Vogue and silly idea that they don’t have a plan yet to allow customers get admin power of their Deco products, We don’t be quiet anymore this is because of our patience that is over. We all customers planning to critise about Deco all over the social platforms not to buy tp link deco product if the management team don’t allow us to get administration and full control of deco settings.. Thanks!

@TP-Link I would prefer a web UI because I prefer using a laptop or PC with a mouse and keyboard rather than an mobile device for most things. My computers have large, easy to read monitors. Mobile devices have small screens and are not ergonomical when you have to hold a heavy device in one hand and tap with another. On a PC with a web UI, I can easily multi-task, taking notes in another application or searching for troubleshooting information, for example. Using a mobile app is restrictive to use. I had previously purchased a TP-Link Omada Gigabit VPN Router and I was incredibly impressed by the easy-to-manage web UI, so much so that I ditched my clunky Netgear router and thought the TP-Link Deco would have a similar experience. I hope you revise plans and provide a web UI in the future. So far, after setting everything up, I'm very happy with the Deco mesh system, but the lack of a web UI is curious.

@TP-Link Well, consider me another new TP Link customer and very quickly former customer. I purchased a Deco system. Reading through the documentation all I could find was how to use the app to setup the device. Came here looking for info about how to access the web management interface. And like so many others I found out there isn't one. What a load of absolute garbage. This thing is getting packed back up and sent back to Amazon. Back to NetGear I go and will never ever purchase another TP Link product.

Absurd decision making. Lazy. Extremely frustrated to find out a mobile app is required to configure this expensive device. Packing up and returning.

We might as well be talking to a wall! These people are not listening to us and furthermore they don't give a rat's behind about our complaints or concerns. In fact I doubt anyone from tp-link is reading or monitoring this thread. They are perfectly satisfied to have sold this POS mesh all over the world to people who don't know how to find an ethernet port on a router without a diagram even if their life depended on it. There is also the aspect of being able to keep your private network data on their cloud servers. Has it occured to anyone what they are doing with this data? Do yourselves a favor, just return your prodcut if you are still able to do so and buy something else. I retuned mine and got this instead, has a full unrestricted web UI: ASUS ZenWiFi AX6600 Tri-Band Mesh WiFi 6 System (XT8 2PK) - Whole Home Coverage up to 5500. Yes it is a bit more expensive but for those of us who are professional network folks and want to be in control of what is installed on our network, it is well worth it. I am completely done with tp-link and free of their nonsense.
