Model: Deco XE70 Pro  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.2.11 Build 20240724 Rel. 38913

I recently upgraded my network to a Deco system.  I have run my own DHCP service for many years and would prefer to do this, but my Deco has no way to disable it's built-in DHCP service.  Okay, so I stop running my own DHCP and setup DHCP on the Deco.  Now my network clients are required to issue fully qualified domain names (FQDN) because the Deco's DHCP does not have a way to define default domain name, also known as dns suffix.  This is an industry standard for DHCP services.  @GaryParr described this functionality very well in this thread.

 

I would ask for either one of the following features (while both would be great): (1) ability to disable DHCP; (2) DHCP accepts entry for default domain / dns suffix.

Hi, thanks for your feedback here.

Currently, Deco does not support to customize DNS Suffix. We will log your feedback and deliver it to the related team.

If you are using a router at the same time, it is suggested to switch the Deco network into AP mode for a try. And this guide is for your reference.

  @Marvin_S:

I would like to +1 the need for this functionality. It's a pretty basic requirement and common on even the most basic routers.
When can we expect to see this functionality?
Thank you.

Hi, thanks for your posting your request here as well.

Since I am not in software development, I cannot provide a definite answer. 

It is sincerely suggested to vote on the left top corner of the page.

Thank you.
