This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I just noticed that I can connect to my M5 router's admin settings with the Deco app on my phone using my cell phone provider's network. This looks like a big security risk because if my TP Link username and password are ever leaked anyone can get in. Is there a way to set the router to only accept Deco app connections when my phone is connected to its wi-fi network? Or there is a way to at least setup two-factor authentication?
On every other router I've own there was always a way to disable remote admin access.

Thank you. 2FA would fix the leaked password vulnerability. Would you comment on whether 2FA would fix the "any Deco owner is vulnerable to a hostile government that sends a warrant compelling tplink to give it control of the customer’s Deco." Vulnerability?

Hi, In this way, I don’t think I have an answer for it.
If you don’t mind, I would suggest sending an email to support.usa@tp-link.com or feedback via Deco APP>Overview>three lines on the top left>help>contact us>suggestions.
Thank you very much.

I really don't like this feature, what ports I need to block to get rid of remote management?
After configuration, is there any need of that anyway?
tho I still have some weeks left to return, but that would be bit sadly as it seems to work quite well
Annoying features:
it uses same password as tp-link webpage, would be nice to be able to use complex password on app and simple one on webpage (now I had to reset password to be able to wrote in forum...)
second it has random MAC addresses (at least on AC mode), I assign those decos to 192.168.1.11 .12 and .13 by MAC from DHCP router... but those devices change MACs from what reads on sticker.
