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.

Wow, I just spent some time browsing these forums and other forums - TP Link has been asked for this 1000's of times! This is obiouvly-needed functionality and to see the "Future consideration" tag on this thread aggravates me. They clearly have no plans to fix existing devices. My Amazon review is 1 star and points to this matter. Until I see this fixed on existing devices, I'll will be recommending against TP Link from here on out.

After wasting 1 year of my life with TP Link, I sold my device on Ebay, moved on to Ubiquity (if you want less fuss, go with Asus).
TP Link cannot provide support (my BE65 got 1 firmware upgrade across the whole year) .. and treats their premium products like the cheap product lines.
Dont waste your time, give them to someone else who are not enthusiast or wants to play with their devices.

I'm also thinking about changing to some other mesh devices, since I can't use the guest network without those settings available, and because @TP-Link didn't even care about this since my last post, not to mention the OP and hundreds of other users...
It's actually a matter of users' networks safety!

@richpriest Does anyone know of a brand/model that would work for what we need?
