Pathetic web interface, NO BACKUP of settings
The thread discussing this has been closed so I'm opening a new one. It looks like TP-Link does not want to hear complaints... Anyway, for what it's worth...
I have purchased a modem/router rather than having one supplied by the provider for the hope that an open product will have not only full functionality but also a BACKUP option. I have lots of port forwarding and when a router dies it takes at least half a day to set a new one up with those settings. The provider-supplied routers have the backup feature disabled so I went for an open, commercial one... Only to find that not only that feature is missing there too, but I don't even get the web interface. I hate to type on the phone but now I'd have to type all of those NAT forwarding settings on a phone!
I, for one, am returning this product seeing that TP-Link not only just stated that they won't provide a web interface, but also that they did not want to hear any more complaints about it obviously. That is at least as bad.
