Out of the box: The Deco M4 support a guest and a named SSID for a total of two SSIDs.

How can a third SSID be created for the mesh network?

Deco's default to 'Smart Connect' it seems. So by default, you have only 2 SSID's, the Guest and the LAN itself. The Deco determines by 'talking' to the device, which BAND to give it, one of 2 or 3 if you have a Wifi 6/7 Deco system.

 

To individually have both a 2.4 and 5Ghz (or 6Ghz) SSID, you must disable SMART CONNECT.

 

Different Routers/Deco's have different ways to do this... and on my Deco I have to use the Deco app, not the browser GUI to do this. No direct setting for this like 'smart connect' like on my other older router though. Seems I need to look at the 2.4/5Ghz setting and select only 1, but I am not even sure I could create another one for 5Ghz?

 

It might depend on the Deco model?
