A friend gave me two Deco S units that were already set up with a network name and password. I want to create a new network and a guest network. Problem is the app does not find the Deco units. Meanwhile I can use the existing network and password created by my friend. Can I create two unique networks and wipe out the existing network?

@PKBob i take it he never removed them from his old network before powering them down for the last time?

@PKBob

Hi, welcome to the community.

Only one SSID is allowed to be set for each main network and guest network.

I think you could change the existing network SSID and password to a new unique one on the Deco APP.

As for the "Problem is the app does not find the Deco units", please make sure you have logged into the correct TP-Link ID that has been used by your friend to set up Deco.

Wait for your reply.

Best regards.
