RBE971 and 2 satellites - Cannot connect Google Home - "Turn off AP isolation...?

From pg. 112 of the Technicolor model user manual:

Is my answer in here somewhere?  Sorry, I'm trying but I'm not a networking pro by any measure.  LOL  Thanks!

"12 Isolation
By default, the Technicolor Wireless Gateway allows traffic to pass freely between CPE devices
on the same logical network. This behavior may not be desirable in certain types of deployments
where devices associating with the Wireless Gateway may belong to different
persons/households (examples: public hotspots, hotels, and multi-dwelling units). For these
deployments, the appropriate isolation modes should be enabled. This feature causes the
Wireless Gateway to block traffic sent between CPE devices.
12.1User Provisioning for Isolation
No user provisioning is available for this feature. This feature must be provisioned by the
operator using SNMP.
12.2SNMP Provisioning for Isolation
Isolation can be configured separately for any, and all of the following types of traffic:
• Traffic in which both the source and destination addresses are reachable via the same
primary or secondary BSSID (WLAN-WLAN traffic)
Isolation for WLAN-WLAN traffic:
Isolation for WLAN-WLAN traffic is controlled via the tchRgDot11BssApIsolation MIB object.
This is an interface-specific MIB which must be appended with the appropriate interface index of
the BSSID that is being configured for isolation.
Index Interface
32 Primary BSSID
33 Secondary BSSID #1
34 Secondary BSSID #2
35 Secondary BSSID #3
36 Secondary BSSID #4
37 Secondary BSSID #5
38 Secondary BSSID #6
39 Secondary BSSID #7
This means that different BSSIDs may have different isolation settings. For example, it is
possible to leave isolation disabled on the primary BSSID, while setting up a secondary BSSID
for hotspot services that has isolation enabled.
The default setting for this MIB is integer 0 (disabled) for all SSIDs. To enable WLAN-WLAN
traffic isolation, set this MIB to 1 (enabled).
This setting is effective in the device configuration file as well as when set via SNMP (If set via
SNMP, the setting will persist across device reboots). If SNMP is used, setting
tchRgDot11ApplySettings to true (1) is required for the change to take effect (as is the case
with other tchRgDot11 MIB settings when set via SNMP).

Example:
To provision complete isolation between Ethernet ports and the primary SSID, The following
would be added to the CM config file:
SnmpMibObjecttchRgDeviceLanLanIsolation.0 Integer 1; /* enable */
SnmpMibObjecttchRgDeviceLanWlanIsolation.0 Integer 1; /* enable */
SnmpMibObjecttchRgDot11BssApIsolation.32 Integer 1; /* enable */"

Your ISP Modem already has a built in router and wifi. This would be a double NAT (two router) condition which isn't recommended. https://kb.netgear.com/30186/What-is-Double-NAT
https://kb.netgear.com/30187/How-to-fix-issues-with-Double-NAT
Couple of options,
1. Configure the modem for transparent bridge or modem only mode. Then use the Orbi router in router mode. You'll need to contact the ISP for help and information in regards to the modem being bridged correctly.
2. If you can't bridge the modem, disable ALL wifi radios on the modem, configure the modems DMZ/ExposedHost or IP Pass-Through for the IP address the Orbi router gets from the modem. Then you can use the Orbi router in Router mode.
3. Or disable all wifi radios on the modem and connect the Orbi router to the modem, configure AP mode on the Orbi router. https://kb.netgear.com/31218/How-do-I-configure-my-Orbi-router-to-act-as-an-access-point and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7LOcJ8GdDo&app=desktop
Try option #2 first...

Then consult with Google if this doesn't fix this.

I don't understand how the Nest Mini worked on this setup until I removed it.  It's been working with the Orbi for almost 2 months now.  When I first added it, I was using the Linksys Velop Mesh network, then I moved to the Deco mesh network and now the Orbi 970.  It worked fine on all three of them but and I never had an issue removing and then readding it until the Orbi network.

 

 

Thanks again for help out!
