RS600 latest version, 1.0.6.16 IoT network works like a Guest Network
Well, I got all excited about the new IoT network capabilities in 1.0.6.16. I moved a couple of devices to the new IoT network, and they connected to the internet. Then connected my phone to the IoT ...
Did you performed a factory reset on the router and setup from scratch after v.16 was loaded to see if the IoT network with your devices and your phone worked while all connected to the IoT network?
IF the phone and IoT devices were connected on the same network, the phone should have access to these other devices on the IoT network. The IoT network will not block or separate them while on same network.
Be sure your phone was actually connected to the IoT network.
Historically both Main WLAN and IoT Networks are on same subnet and are not blocked or isolated from each other as this would cause a blockage to happen between the IoT devices and mobile devices connected on the Main WLAN and supporting IoT apps to fail to connect. NG has intended this design for the IoT and Main WLAN networks to avoid this issue.
What IoT devices do you have connected on the IoT network?
