Bridging one VLAN to another
Hi,
Just bought the Orbi Pro SXK50,
Looking at p75 onwards of the manual https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/SXK50/SXK50_UM_EN.pdf
It's not totally clear if what I want is possible, so looking for advice on how/if this is possible?
I want to have :
• 2 SSIDs 'NetworkCore' and 'NetworkIOT'
• Clients on NetworkCore to see all clients on NetworkIOT
• But clients on NetworkIOT to not see any clients on NetworkCore
So one-directional isolation in effect...
In the past I achieved this with iptables rules on other routers. Is what I want possible here on the Orbi Pro SXK50?
Thanks,
James

The ubiquitous answer would be customizable firewall rules for all Orbi Pro Wifi 6 (and upcoming WiFi 7) systems. Overdue and ignored for decades.
- springypiAspirantYep that for sure would do the trick. I've come to the conclusion that the router needs to go back as this is a must have for me.
So far only Synology seems to have a mesh system with really configurable firewall supporting VLANs, so just ordered that to test it out.
