Deco web interface very simplistic
The web interface to my Deco Router (in Router mode) is incredibly simplistic and I can't seem to find all the menus that are talked about online. i've included below the full set of screens that I can see. Even under advanced, most of it is just stuff to look at as opposed to being able to do anything.
I can't find any access controls, ability to reserve a network address to a device, etc... There is a bit more in the app but not much. How do I access the more advanced features, why is the interface so simplistic.

@gellio Hi, welcome to the community.
Deco products mainly use the Deco APP for system configuration and network management. The web UI is only a supplement for the Deco APP and is often used for local firmware upgrades.
It is suggested to set the advanced network settings directly on the Deco APP: Get to know Deco APP 3.0
Thank you very much and best regards.

@David-TP Thanks for the response. I have looked at/used the app, in fact I went to the webpage because I couldn't find the funcionality in the app in the first place.
Have looked through the app overview stuff you linked and I still can't find the advanced features I'm looking for. In particular, the main one I'm trying to figure out is how I can 'lock' an IP address to a device so it never changes. Is that something I can do?

Honestly the simplistic web admin UI is just lame. Having to use a mobile app to do complex stuff like setting up port forwarding etc.. is difficult, tedious and error prone. Moreover most of the details we want to put in there will be in a PC not on the mobile device, so we have to do double handling of information from one device to another to get these things setup.
Do better and just give us a normal router web admin interface instead of forcing people to use silly apps.
