Orbi Pro 6 - IOT Client Isolation
Hello, I am looking the Orbi Pro 6 for a home use. It is the front runner for a new mesh network because of the 4 SSIDs (one being IoT). I have been looking at the manuals and I see that there ...
Yes, network discovery is verified. I use wireless 3 for my google home devices, set up through the google home app on my smartphone. With network isolation disabled and my iphone connected to wireless 3 I can see all the devices and set them up, and all the google home devices are found by and are controllable by the google home mini.
YMMV but with the google home devices on wireless 3 with client isolation disabled, you have network discovery.

To question #1, the short answer is yes. It is possible within each SSID to toggle device isolation on/off and allow within that LAN devices to discover and interact with one another. I haven't played enough with the network isolation to determine if it operates one way to two way. Certainly when toggled on, devices on that particular LAN cannot access devices connected on the other LANs. Don't know (but suspect it the case) that being on also prevents devices on other LANs discovering devices on the LAN in question. Will have to check that.
Thanks Steve, but I agree that usually you can toggle the SSID client isolation, but the manual stating they can't see each other on Wireless 3 scares me. And I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to find out the manual is correct.
Has anyone got devces on IoT to interact on the Pro 6 or any mesh network? Again this is a HOME network with very non techical users who will be adding non-PC devices wirelessly on and off as new devices come out. Trying to not just add them to the 'regular' or employee network.
