Limit devices that can connect to Deco unit
Limit devices that can connect to Deco unit
I added a new Deco unit to my mesh and want to limit only certain devices that can connect to it.
I could not find a way to do it in the app, can this feature be requested?
Deco 7 Pro BE14000
thanks

Using my setup as an example - I have two XE75 pro units lets say I want the first 95 devices on "cat" I would have to assign those 95 devices to "cat" using the directions in the video and then assign the other 5 devices to the other deco (dog)
As far as I know there's not another way to do this but we can check with a staff member to see
Please advise

Would it work for you if there was a "limit number of device that can connect to this deco" option?
Then you could assign the 5 you want to the deco and the other devices would know to never try to connect to that device?

As far as I know that option isn't there yet but I can see if I can get them to add something like that

To my knowledge, that specific functionality doesn't exist on a per-node level within a Deco network.
A temporary workaround might be to run all but one of your Decos as one network (in router mode), then set up the other Deco as a different network, in AP Mode (with a separate SSID), but connected via Ethernet to the main network, and have the clients connect only through it.
That said, I'll be happy to share your feedback and feature request with our Deco team. 👍
