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.

Yep please add this feature ASAP. Just bought 3 Deco X60's. Would not have bought them if I had known that guest network didn't have its own DNS settings

Guest network is useless for me at the moment as any client that connects to it has no internet connection because its assigned a local DNS address on the primary network which it can't get to. I don't want to have to manually assign DNS on every client I connect to guest network.

Just posting as well my frustration for this setting to no be there yet - It should be a very simple thing to simply add a custom DNS setting for Guest networks.

I do not use Pi-Hole to do as a second DNS, e.g. with Google - which practically eliminates the operation of Pi-Hole (because what Pi-Hole will block, we will find in the second DNS) - besides, I have 2x Pi-Hole in my LAN - so there is no room for the 3rd DNS address ;)
If the premise of the guest network is a separate VLAN, then it is logical that it should not use the resources of another LAN.

TPLink will never fix this. I am going to buy another system that works properly. It will of course not be TPLink branded. I'll ensure my friends and family know too. TPLink makes flawed products and doesn't fix it.
