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.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I am not able to communicate from VLAN1 to VLAN3 with network isolation enabled only on VLAN3 and client isolation disabled (both network and client isolation disabled on VLAN1). I can, of course, control devices on VLAN3 through an app that communicates with the device through the cloud, but I am unable to ping the device from a device on VLAN1. I can communicate if I connect my device (phone/computer) to VLAN3.
Did you have to do anything extra in the settings to enable this functionality?
youngbru , This is the "network isolation" setting in VLAN setup. If you disable this though you lose the security you were probably hoping to keep.
The newer FW just released now allows mDNS rules. This allows only Multicast which most devices use for discovery/communication. I enabled this and created two rules for "all services" from VLAN 1 to VLAN 3 and another from VLAN 3 to VLAN 1. This allows all my HomeKit communication to be local now and keeps the network isolation I wanted for security.
I verified this by powering down my HomeKit hubs and my Phone on VLAN 1 could get status from everything on VLAN 3
GMoGoody8 yes, that is what I thought Network Isolation did. I am actually OK with connecting my notebook to the IoT VLAN if I need to access an IOT device directly. Most of the time I will be accessing through the cloud anyway, I think.
But in case I want to play with it, where are these mDNS setting located? I am running firmware V4.2.0.122 on both my SXR80 and SXS80.
So the first released FW I saw to have it is 4.2.1.112 which I believe was just released. I know some previous Beta FWs had it to.
Advanced Settings --> Advanced Setup --> mDNS Gateway
It's all the way at the bottom.OK, that firmware isn't yet listed on the SXK80 Firmware page. I will get it in due course I guess. No hurry at this point.
