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.

@richpriest oh, I moved on about 2 to 3 years ago already. Purchased an ASUS GT-AX11000 and never looked back. Have over 70 devices connected to it and I no longer have the router constantly crashing (which the TP Link one would do) due to their firmware update not being able to handle that many devices.

@richpriest Ditto. Just bought the GL-iNet Flint 2 with its OpenWrt firmware. Should probably unsubscribe from this thread now.

TP link, this is really a shame. This thread is more than 3 years old and still no fix for this. How??? This is an default settings feature. Even on your older devices the not deco types.... Is this so difficult to implement? Even when this many users are asking for it?
Come on fix this please. Without this (and other features) tp link is useless for the more tech people.

I have a BE9300, and I am looking for this exact feature. It is quite annoying that such an expensive router does not have one of the most basic features, if you can't segregate guests fully, why have the feature at all?

I know this is old but even with the X55 pro I can't use my DNS on the guest network. I need it to limit where they go and what they see. Another upvote.
