That's about the basic functionality of the Client Isolation: "... enable client isolation so that clients that are associated with the same or different WiFi networks cannot communicate with each other, ..."

Without a standalone managed WAX6xx at hand, I guess you talk about the possibility of adding a list of three exemption devices. I would expect one has to add the wireless device MAC addresses there, like xx:yy:zz:aa:bb:cc - not IP addresses. Does the WAX6xx require IP addresses, or are these (text?) fields for the exceptions more generic input, with a max length of 17 chars? Unfortunately, the way these exemption devices must be added might be "up to the user's best guess or imagination" however. Needless to say, Apple's private address resp. private MAC feature does not make network management easier - so better stay away from these for the moment.
