IoT network not visible

Hi,
I have just updated my router with the latest firmware, this adds iot network which I have setup.
I cannot see this network on my Android or enter it manually as a hidden network so I cannot therefore add any of my iot devices as the smart home app needs to be on the network to setup these devices.
it seems a good idea to have them separate but is there a solution for this?
I've tried disabling the password and turning on and off and rebooting but it will not just be visible.
I had the IoT devices connected to an earlier network. Same DECO, same SSID and same configurations. Tried this before and the devices will connect to the network even if in an other country, as long as the SSID and configs are the same. They will just not connect to the new IoT Network.
Please help.
thanks

Hello @David-TP - Please tell me when will the IOT network be available in the TP-Link Deco X1500-4G router 4G+ equipment? I have 1xM5 and 1xX50outdoor in the same network. Before I bought the X1500, the IOT network was available, now it is not at all. Is it so that when you use a router from Tp-Link, there is no IOT network? Is iot available in other, more expensive routers?

Hi, Thanks for the update.
I'm afraid there hasn't been any updated news about the Deco X1500-4G with IoT network support yet.
You can check whether there is "Bridge" mode under the Network mode of Deco X1500-4G.
If yes, we can try to set Deco X1500-4G as a 4G bridge modem only, then use Deco M5 and Deco X50-outdoor to create a second Mesh Network:
