Orbi Pro with Playfi

Trying to connect Playfi speaker but I cannot see them on Wireless 1 or Wireless 2. Another thread mentioned Sonos and the option to "allow employees to share" but that option is not avaialble on the current version. Is there a way to "disable isolation mode" so these Playfi clients can see each other?

  • There is no client isolation on the admin network, aka. Wireless 1.

     

    As per the Orbi Pro Router SRR60 and Orbi Pro Satellite SRS60 User Manual (from spring 2020) "Manage the employee WiFi network settings", the Employee WiFi, aka. Wireless 2, should have this control.

     

    "To allow your employees to see each other on the Wireless 2 network, and to allow
    them to access resources on the local network, select the Allow employees to see
    each other and access my local network check box.
    By default, employees are not allowed to see each other and cannot access local
    resources on the Wireless 2 network."

     

    By default, a wireless client connected to this network won't be able to discover or talk to another wireless client on that very same network.

     

    What firmware version is on your Orbi Pro system currently?

      The wireless 2 shows that employee sharing is on but I cannot see Play-fi devices on the wireless network. These devices worked with my previous Orbi system without any changes to default settings. 

       

      While the option is on, i cannot find where to turn it on or off, the control is not under the wireless 2 settings page.

        Should be there 8-/  RaghuHR please enlighten your customers.

         

        Either way, there should be nothing blocking the discvery and the access the DTS Playfi device on Wireless 1 and on Wireless 2 - permitting App and devices are on the same WLAN.
