How to set up a Guest Network for Deco

A Guest network allows visitors in your home to use the internet without needing to connect to your private network. Wireless devices connected to a Guest network have no access to resources shared on the Main network so the security and privacy of the Main network are guaranteed.

Note:

1. When Deco works in the Router mode, the Guest network and Main network are isolated.

2. When Deco works in the AP mode, on the Deco app>Guest network>Advanced page, there is an "Allow Local Access" switch once the Guest network is enabled, and it can be used to control whether to isolate the Guest network and the Main network.

3. Features available in Deco may vary by model and software version. All steps and images described here are only examples and may not reflect your actual Deco experience.

Here we take Deco M5 as an example.

1. Open the Deco app, go to More->Guest Network page, then tap Turn On Guest Network.

2. Create a password for the Guest network, then click on Done.

Note: If you leave this field blank, the Guest network will not require a password to connect.

3. On the Guest network settings page, you can change the Guest network SSID and password.

If you want to change the wireless security type, click on Security.

The Duration feature allows you to choose how long to enable the Guest network.

Note: The Guest network turns off automatically if no devices are connected to it for about 10 minutes.

Some Deco models do not support this feature and will support it via firmware updates in the future.

Tap Advanced, and you will be able to select the working band of the Guest network and limit the bandwidth allocated to the Guest network.
