What does the RBRE960 "Enable IoT" option do?
I have a number of small service devices, like a doorbell, outdoor lighting controllers, and so on, that are connected to my home network. I have an AXE11000 WiFi Mesh System (RBRE960) installed and set up as a gateway to the internet. I haven't found a technical explanation of the IoT network feature.
- What "Enable IoT" does to the router configuration?
- What changes to the service devices are needed to use the IoT network?
- What limitations should I be aware of?
Advice and links to articles relevent to the AXE11000 WiFi Mesh System are welcome.

Netgear has set up a community forum specifically for the Orbi AX (WiFi 6) products. Most of the people who watch that forum are more likely to have experience with Orbi AX and know how to work it better than those of us who follow this "general Orbi" forum. Might be more likely to find someone who has a solution if the question is posted there:

Community TeamThanks. All good links, but aren't germane to my questions. The documents I have reviewed, which includes the suggestions you offer, didn't get to the technical detail I need to complete my configuration.
There was an post here for a little while that had the appropriate responses, but that post is no longer in this thread.
