Model: Deco M3  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.5.8 Build 20230619 Rel. 48552

I'm hoping this is a bug and not a feature.

 

Call me old fashioned, but a wireless router's main job is to support my LAN. And my LAN still functions during an internet outage. I should not be denied access to hardware on my local network, because I cannot log into a remote site.

 

What added value does this authentication actually provide me? What operations in the Deco app require requests to TP-Link servers?

  @mattalxndr Is this about accessing the Deco from the app, to manage the Deco?
If yes, did you try restarting the app while connected on the Deco's wifi?
