How To Create A Guest Network On Your Tp-Link Deco X90

by

Setting up a guest network on your Tp-Link Deco X90 is a great way to provide visitors with internet access without giving them access to your main network. This helps protect your personal devices and data while allowing guests to browse the web freely. Follow these simple steps to create a secure guest network on your Deco X90.

Access the Deco App

Begin by opening the Tp-Link Deco app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure your device is connected to your Deco X90 network. Log in if prompted, and select your Deco network from the list of devices.

In the app, tap on the “More” tab or icon, usually located at the bottom right corner. Then, select “Wireless” or “Wi-Fi Settings” from the menu options. This section contains all the wireless configuration settings for your Deco X90.

Create the Guest Network

Within the Wireless Settings, look for the option labeled “Guest Network” or “Guest Wi-Fi.” Turn this option on. You will be prompted to set a network name (SSID) and password for your guest network. Choose a distinct name, such as “Guest Wi-Fi,” and a secure password.

Configure Guest Network Settings

After enabling the guest network, you can customize additional settings. These may include:

  • Network Band (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz)
  • Access restrictions or time limits
  • Bandwidth limits for guests

Adjust these settings according to your preferences to enhance security and performance for your guests.

Save and Test the Guest Network

Once you’ve configured the guest network, tap “Save” or “Apply” to activate it. To ensure it works correctly, connect a device to the new guest Wi-Fi network using the SSID and password you set. Verify that you can access the internet and that your main network remains secure.

Additional Tips

For added security, consider:

  • Changing the guest network password regularly
  • Disabling guest access when not needed
  • Enabling network isolation to prevent guests from accessing each other’s devices

Creating a guest network on your Tp-Link Deco X90 is straightforward and helps maintain your main network’s security while providing internet access to visitors. Regularly review your network settings to ensure optimal security and performance.
