Orbi Wifi Pro mini appearing as device in VLAN
I am using the SXK30 as an AP and created 2 VLANS (i.e. home (VLAN ID1), guests (VLAN ID 20)). It is working well, however, when I check my router the SXR30 (the main unit) appears under the devi...
Glad to know I am not alone. Should I still turn on network isolation between even if my switch and/or router is already separating them? setup is SXR30 (VLANS 1,2) in AP mode, connected to Switch connected to Router.
I would say if you can then you should isolate vlan 2 if only to disable the GUI access.
Personally I can not because I allow limited routing between VLAN's -- DVR and printers for instance can be accessed from any vlan. One-way access can not be granted with the stateless ebtables firewall -- either the requests or reply's end up blocked.
The issue without isolation is that if a malicious user changes their default route to the SXR IP then they can vlan hop to any subnet that has a valid return route. Likely the traffic never even hits the router so it is tricky to block.
