Best practice for doorbell and cameras (or how you folks did it)

Model: Deco X20

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

Howdy all,

I'm about to move into a new home and will be setting up the usual doorbell, thermostat and a couple of camera's (all wifi). I did a search the forums for camera's then doorbell and saw were some folks were setting them up on the guest network but also thought I noticed that prohibited access while you were "away". What is a safe recommendation for setup of these on your home wifi?

Along those same lines since most all those products seem to only work on 2.4g is WP3A-Personal + WPA2 what is recommended?

Thanks for any thoughts and if I've missed anything that would help let me know.

@Runningp

Most of smart home devices are 2.4ghz only and Deco, unluckily could not separate 2.4ghz from 5ghz if you don't use guest network.

So the best option would be a standard router if you are not a fan of mesh network. Archer AX11000 sounds nice and I see it has some discounts occasionally on their official websites.

Deco mesh works fine for me. I have Deco M9 plus and use 2.4ghz as the main, 5ghz as the guest since I don't need my 5ghz devices communicate to each other. Before I tried 2.4g+5g mixed network for a while, it seemed nice for my smart home devices.
