Hi Retired_Member
Sorry to hear your issues. Could you please help us in providing your network toplogy. I assume it is very simple by looking at your description. But I want to make sure we understand your network topology and how the devices are connected. Please share the logs ( you can download and save it from the monitoring page) when you see the issue.
Thanks,
Raghu.
Hi RaghuHR,
Thank you for your quick attention. I have filed case 45523248. I have since duplicated the problem on 3 other WAX620s.
The network topology picture is simple to describe. I have an external router connected to a Netgear GS116 then another Netgear GS305P then finally to the WAX620. All wired devices are connected to the first switch except the WAX620.
I have reverted to firmware version 9.5.2.5 as that was the last version the client isolation feature worked. I did not collect logs when I was on version 9.5.4.6.
It is very easy to duplicate. The configuration is nearly all defaults. When I tested on the various firmware versions, I always reset the configuration to factory defaults, and then did my minimal configuration and testing. Simple test was printing a Netgear support page from an iPhone 13 to a wired-only Brother MFC-L8900CDW.
Again, the firmware version is the only change for this feature to work or not.
