Hi

A few advanced features might disappear from the Deco APP or become different after mixing different models, here are some examples for your reference.

These features are available as long as the main Deco has it:

    VPN Server/Client, Static Routing, Changing WAN MTU, HomeShield (Parental Control) etc.

These features are available only when all Deco units in the network have it:

    IoT network, WPA3 encrption, Reboot Schedule, Connection Preferences for client devices.

These features are independent ones, not related to other Deco units:

    Signal Source selection for satellite units.

If you are considering adding a new Deco, it is advisable to exchange the E4 model for for an X50 model that aligns with the hardware version currently in use at your residence (the hardware version can be located on the label at the bottom of the product, beginning with V or Ver).

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

But for now, I'm not sure if it is economic to buy new advanced Deco for 5 Iot devices in one bedroom. I deleted E4 from my mesh system, and now advanced features returned. 

Maybe I can establish a completely new network made of E4 deco only (I have a pack of three)? So I can have a mesh network made of 3 x50 for the main network and then a new mesh network made of 3 E4 for IoT devices? What would be pros and cons for this system?

Also, is E4 V2 ever going to be updated so it can support advanced features that  I have been using (IoT network, devices isolation, connection preference)?

And is there a list with deco models that support advanced features?

Regards,

Lorena

Hi,

Can you please confirm that Deco M5 supports IoT network, device isolation and connection preference. I am thinking to add M5 to my X50 mesh network  buy I don't want to loose my advanced features as I did with E4.

Thank you.
