Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.0 Build 20190620 Rel. 45372

Hello,

 

More than eight months passed since the last firmware that implements "Guest Network" in AP mode, only that the "Guest Network" actually don't comply with the minimal requirement, be separate from the main network. This issue was clearly reported just after firmware release and TP-Link reply the fix would be added in next firmware.

 

So, when this next firmware will be actually released with the fix?

 

Regards

An update on the issue, apparently solved after last firmware update as it's working for me: https://www.tp-link.com/pt/support/download/deco-m4/v1/#Firmware

 

3. Added isolation switch for the main network and guest network in Access Point mode.

 

Anyone else confirming that the guest network is now isolated from the main network?

 

Thanks

@p0s1x , I don't seem to have a UI for setting/enabling VLAN for the guest network. 

 

How did you do it? Very much appreciate your response!

@Ed-win , the option is available at Wi-Fi settings, after upgrading to the latest firmware.

@PCH thanks for your answer, but I don't have it. 

 

M5 seems to have it, but I have the M4R v2, with the latest firmware for my region: 1.4.3 Build 20200918 Rel. 74289:

What firmware do you have?

@PCH 

 

Does the application show VLAN options or the option to isolate the guest network from the main network?

@Ragar The application just shows the option to "Isolate From Main Network".
