Model: Deco M5  
Hardware Version: V3
Firmware Version: 1.5.3

I am running adguard home on an laptop, so I set the ip 192.168.68.110 as dns server  On dhcp

On Home Network the devices get internet after connecting but on guest network, it shows no internet shows no internet when an internal ip is used. I think this is a bug. Can u plz check it

 

But when a dns outside of my network is used  it works

I am guessing, your DNS server is connected to Home network. Also, I am assuming you configured Guest network to be isolated from main network, in Deco app.

 

If this is correct, then what you have is by design: devices connected to Guest network can't reach DNS server on Main network. Devices use DNS server to check Internet connectivity, and that's why they show "no internet."

 

If you disable Guest network isolation from Main, in Deco app in WiFi settings, that should fix the issue.

 

In case you need both networks separated, with Guest isolated from Main, see this conversation that may give you an idea how to overcome the issue: https://community.tp-link.com/en/home/forum/topic/262466

See screenshot below, from Wi-Fi Settings screen in Deco app. Network isolation toggle is at the bottom, named "Isolated From Main Network," and it is disabled for my home network. It seems you have an easy solution to your problem - do the same.

 

Note one thing: there is some sort of a bug in Deco app, when I disable Network isolation Deco app turns on 5GHz for Guest network. So, because I don't want 5GHz on my Guest network, for me it is multiple step process: disable network isolation, close Deco app, open it again, navigate to WiFi settings screen, turn off 5GHz for Guest network.

I forgot to mention I run my Deco mesh in Access Point mode. If you run yours in Router mode, that will explain difference in available configuration settings.

@Bhooty 

Hi, there is no separate isolation button on the wireless router mode, only on the access point mode;

If there are not so many guest network devices, it is recommended to manually change the DNS server to the Adguard IP address;

Thank you very much.
