Model: Deco  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

I want to introduce smart home /IoT using the deco network. For security reasons I would like to have 4 independent networks:

1. Network IoT- no SSID broadcast

2. Network internal - no SSID broadcast

3. Network DMZ - SSID broadcast

4. Network Guest/external - SSID broadcast

 

Can this be achieved with any Deco device?

 

Thanks!

  @MarioRuck 

" no SSID broadcast" Do you mean something like "hidden network", the Wi-Fi is here but it is not visible for unknown devices?

On the Deco, currently, it only allows 2 SSIDS, one for the main network(2.4ghz+5ghz), and the other for the guest network (2.4ghz+5ghz).

Thank you very much.

Best regards.

Yes, seems this is what I mean. Hidden network means the SSID will not be shown in public and must be configured on the clients manually.

If there are just two SSID on the Deco in AP mode and I can transport a tagged VLAN 1 on the Ethernet port on SSID 1 as well as a tagged VLAN 2 on the Ethernet port on SSID 2 with no chance of communicating between these WLAN/VLAN beside using a router and one of both will work as hidden network, this would do the trick. Most IoT devices are on the 2.4 GHz range.

Just found at TP-Link a good description for the feature: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/418/ Seems this is not really new to TP-Link.
