Cannot access my IoT VLAN from Default VLAN
I have all my IoT devices connected to IoT VLAN. I have all my computers and phones connected to Default VLAN. This separation is for security obviously as recommended. I have Network Isolation turne...
Were you able to check the manual I have provided? I believe it was mentioned there how you can allow or block devices from accessing the network using access list.

Yes I have and all it says that its either all blocked or all accessible. According to the manual there is no way to have Default VLAN access IoT VLAN but not vice versa. So it doesn’t solve my issue. So I am still looking for clever workarounds if anyone was able to find?

Netgear TeamErwinL I would solve my problem if I could achieve what I am trying to - be able to connect to any of my IoT device on IoT VLAN without having a security issue of any of my IoT devices being able to connect to my computers and phones on Default VLAN.
This is an absolute common sense need and way to isolate IoT devices. This is a standard in feature in most linux powered routers, like Ubiquiti and for no comprehensible reason absolutely impossible on Orbi Pro routers.
So did I solve my problem? Absolutely not.
Did I get clear that Orbi Pro routers are incapable of achieving what I need? Yes.
I would like to apologize if the solution I have provided did not meet your requirements. If you think that this is a feature that is lacking for this device we are open for suggestions. Just visit the link below and find your way on suggesting your concern. Can we set this thread to closed now?
