Give us access to our devices. Disable the Server requirement. It´s just bonkers that you can´t setup the device locally.

Finally got a firmware update after years... but the Web UI is seemingly unchanged. Such a disappointment.

  @TP-Link I just bought a pair of Deco X10 mesh nodes and I'm incredibly disappointed. The fact that the device needs an app and an online connection just to conduct initial setup is terrible for usability, a privacy nightmare, enables the possibility to strip away my access to my device in the future, and is overall another example of an enshittified product. I've read a few pages on this thread and I agree with most arguments brought up.

 

I'll be returning the device to the store tomorrow and look for another brand (which is hard enough considering that TP-Link is one of the few mainstream brands available in local stores).

 

A router MUST have a web UI. Routers ALWAYS had a web UI. When I purchase a router, I assume it has a web UI. Whoever on the product team decided it's an amazing idea to remove the web UI, especially without saying so on the box, should leave the industry.

 

And don't get me started on the mobile app forcing a ToS involving forced arbitration.
