Model: Deco M4  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.8.2

Hello,

I tried to use search to find more information on this one but couldn't find any so hopefully someone who has more knowledge than I have can help me with this one

I have TP-Link Deco M4 with all the latest firmware updates and since day 1 when I bought this last Autumn I've had the option to use IoT Network but haven't used that until now. There are still some issues and like said maybe someone who knows these better than I do can clarify few things for me
 

  1. Does the IoT Network functions so that when I connect a device into it it can still communicate with all of my other devices connected to my Main Network but they don't have access to the internet? - Because now it seems that when I connect my Windows 10 laptop into IoT Network it has access to the internet and I would only like it to have access to communicate with my devices on my Main Network for occasional file transfer
  2. Devices connected to the IoT Network can't communicate devices connected to my Guest Network
  3. If such configuration is possible could you please link me thread / guide how to do such configuration or any other guides how to achieve this kind of device isolation from the internet but still ability to communicate with other devices

 

Thank you!

Hi, welcome to the community.

It is suggested to refer to Guest Network vs IoT Network vs Device Isolation for more details.

Best regards.

Hi and thank you for taking your time to reply to my question and providing me this useful link. It actually confirmed what I was suspecting and that is that IoT Network devices can still access internet and to block them out separate firewall (device) is needed between Deco and internet

Once again thanks and happy to be part of this community and happy new year 2026 to you!

 

Regards,
Juhis

  @Juhis Use parental control and block the internet for your IoT devices.

Please & Thank You !! ❤️

Hello and thank you for this suggestions. I took a look at the Parental Controls and yeah, they will work nice in this case
