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.

@JAHR TP-Link are not listening to the consumer, they never will allow standalone web ui management for their Deco range...i am stuck with 2 of the X50 pro models as Omada don't have a free standing access point (GPON model coming) all the Omadas are ceiling or wall mounted. This is why i bought the Deco's because they were a tabletop/bookcase mesh unit but unfortunately i am dealing with it and at least i set them up as just AP's and use the ER706W-4G Omada in standalone mode giving me all the routing functionality in a webui.
Once these GPON's release i will sell my Deco's (at least get something back to go toward new GPON's).

@TP-Link my Deco app immediately crashed whenever I open it. I have no way to administer my devices. I am running iOS 17.6. What would you suggest?

@TP-Link - Throw my name into the hat of someone that bought a system (XE75 Pro) and is currently in the process of boxing it back up and returning to Amazon. Shame too. I liked the units, but the lack of a Web UI is a non-starter. I'll be looking at other brands/units going forward for my home/company networking needs.

@MeatballB I have moved my home clients over to Asus AX6100 or ZenWiFi AX and my business clients over to Ubiquiti Unifi. Those should meet your needs.

@TP-Link This is by far the silliest thing I have ever encountered in modern hardware. I am the CIO of $12B company and am using a FortiGate to combine two fiber pipes at my house to provide redundancy and then pass that pipe into a router system that will handle up to 10 Gbps. I purchased 4 of the BE95's and the coverage is fantastic. Speed is great. Configuration is an absolute nightmare through app only.
I'll be packing these back up and off to Amazon and overnighting the new Orbi's instead. The Product team needs to have their bells rung for this absolutely boneheaded move. You have confused the personas of your users - the user wanting the hand-holding is not the user who is going to pay $2k for routers for their house. These would be great for my 68 year old mother.

I would also like a web interface. The app is "ok" for basic functionality, but it's fair to say the community wants a web interface, so adding my vote.
