Future Consideration Feature Request - Guest Network separate DHCP/DNS settings
Hi @TP_LINK,
I've had rock solid performance so far, and do like the Deco Labs options (although the Wifi Interference check results show 'low' then say underneath that there is significant interference), I do, however, have a feature request to put forward.
My use case:
- 3 x Deco M5s in Router mode
- Several wired and many wireless devices on the main network
- Several wireless devices on the guest network (my work devices)
- DHCP is handled by the Deco, and DNS is served by another server on the main network.
If I set the DNS to only have the DNS server, both the main and guest network use these settings. This causes the guest network to fail as it is segregated from the main network where the DNS server resides.

@tonyjp2022 not sure who you are replying to as you've not mentioned anyone, but the details you've asked are in the thread, and have been for 3 years now. Neither of the workaround DNS services you mention will work in the many cases outlined in this thread.

Just want to +1 this, I've recently set up adguard on my network and can't avail of it without breaking the guest network.
I have set my DNS to adguard as primary and 1.1.1.1 secondary, and yet I find I'm using 1.1.1.1 and thus getting ads quite often.
If I remove 1.1.1.1 the guest network can't work as it doesn't have access to adguard.

Had an AXE300 from Frontier, downgraded service and bought a BE550... Very happy with it thus far EXCEPT for this DNS server issue.
It's April 2024, is there still really no workaround for this? Shocked to see such a large thread for this feature request continue with no solution from TP-Link...
Would love to use the guest network on my device without giving up my Pi-Hole.
