Hello everyone,

 

Is it possible to share a device, a printer in my case, between the main wifi network and the guest network? If yes how do I do that?

I've tried searching online but can't find an answer.

Thanks to anyone that can help

With Deco mesh running in Router mode, that might not be possible. If you are OK running Deco in Access Point mode, which means it'll be connected to ISP router, then there is quite simple solution. Connect printer to ISP router, and it will be reachable by devices on both Deco Main and Guest networks.

 

See What’s the difference between Access Point mode and Router mode on the Deco?

Just to add - here's the guide for setting up a guest network on Deco.
