Hello,

 

I wish to put a mesh node in our garage so we have internet, however the garage is unsecure. My concern is that the deco models all come with an Ethernet port and I do not want someone to be able to access our network if they break into the garage.

 

Please can you advise if the Ethernet ports can be disable so that they are not a security risk?

 

Best Regards,

Ben

Hi, Thank you very much for the feedback.

The Ethernet ports on Deco couldn't be disabled yet.

But there is a workaround for your reference:

1. Enable IPTV for both Ethernet pots on the Garage Deco so that these two Ethernet ports would no longer be able to provide an internet connection.

How to Configure IPTV function on Deco

 

Thank you again and best regards.
