Orbi Pro 6: Default VLAN, Native VLAN, VLAN Hopping
After doing lots of research on VLANS and networking in order to set this Orbi Pro 6 up in the best way possible, I am still unsure about a few things that I was hoping could be clarified here. M...
Hi
I'll be curious if you are able to make the Orbi Pro 6 fit your needs. I also need Intervlan Routing and would like the ability to design my own firewall rules. The router doesn't have the functionality that one would expect in a Pro device. Anyway, I am considering giving up on my Orbi and switching to Unifi or Peplink. I don't look forward to setting everything up again, but not sure if or when the Orbi Pro 6 functionally will every catch up my needs.
Hi JasperC
Inter-vlan routing is a basic feature in SXK80 Router mode. You need to disable network and client isolation in VLAN profiles that associate with gateway settings.

Bruce,
There is however no way to configure granular firewall rules.... And this is what pro users hardly understand, even on a "throw-in" mesh system. Router design from 1986, not 2021. Basic feature as you say 8-)

Hi @BruceGuo,
I know I can turn off the network isolation (client isolation is already disabled); however, I prefer my IoT devices to not be able to see my computer, phone, tablet on my other vlan. But I would like my computer, phone and tablet to be able to see and control my IoT devices. Yes, most of my IoT devices can be controlled from the web, but unfortunately not all.
Thanks.
i joined the Netgear Tech Support Live last week, hoping for a solution. The guys were really nice, but as of today this device just doesn't meet my needs. I think I'm going to start over with this tutorial and a different product. Sigh. https://youtu.be/ufJ3dPAgFiM
I don't think that's possible because traffic is dual-way. Do you find others can support this feature? Please share with me to study.
