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.

@TP-Link It's been more than 4 years and hundreds of users requesting the same thing, how much more time and users echoing the same feedback do you need for this functionality? Setting a second public DNS makes the primary DNS blocker pointless on the main network as the blocked endpoints and trackers will simply use the second public DNS. And what is the point of a guest network if they are forced to use your main network's DNS which it can't even hit?

@aabramos Everybody does. I don't get why implementing requested features is so ignored by TP-Link. There are tons of features missing from the Deco line-up. We can't even have multiple SSID with separate VLANS (which everybody has these days)

This has a simple answer @richpriest ... they dont want to implement this on old devices so yo have to buy new ones

@sebachuba Don't talk nonsense.
The X50 is from 2022/2023. It's not old.
It's rather a lack of respect for customers that is responsible for the situation.
Setting up a system of your own to ignore the results is ridiculous.

Actually this is the case for Deco BE65 as well, which is a 2024 product costing around ~200€.
