Setting Up A Guest Network On The Tp-Link Deco Be65 System

by

Creating a guest network on your Tp-Link Deco Be65 system is a straightforward process that enhances your network security and provides visitors with internet access without granting access to your main network. This guide walks you through the steps to set up a guest network effectively.

Accessing the Deco App

Begin by opening the Tp-Link Deco app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure your device is connected to your Deco network. Log in with your credentials if prompted.

Once inside the app, follow these steps:

  • Tap on your Deco network name to access its settings.
  • Select the “Wi-Fi” option from the menu.
  • Look for the “Guest Network” or similar option within the Wi-Fi settings.

Enabling the Guest Network

Activate the guest network feature by toggling the switch to “On.” You may be prompted to set a network name (SSID) and password for the guest network.

Configuring the Guest Network

Set a unique SSID that clearly indicates it is a guest network, such as “MyHome_Guest.” Choose a strong password to prevent unauthorized access. You can also specify whether guests can access your main network or are isolated entirely.

Adjusting Access Restrictions

To enhance security, enable network isolation. This prevents guests from accessing devices on your main network, such as printers or shared folders.

Setting Bandwidth Limits

If supported, configure bandwidth limits for the guest network to prevent it from consuming excessive bandwidth, ensuring your primary network remains fast and responsive.

Saving and Testing the Guest Network

After completing the configuration, save your settings. Connect a device to the new guest network using the SSID and password you set. Verify internet access and confirm that access to your main network is restricted if you enabled isolation.

Additional Tips

Regularly update your Deco app to access new features and security patches. Change your guest network password periodically to maintain security. Consider creating a separate guest network for each different group of visitors if needed.
