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 ...
Does the IoT device work with it's app if you put it on the Main WLAN?
I'll try this on my RS600 to confirm this...been testing a RS700 so figured the basic configuration will work for all RS series router. It should.
Yes. I added my WiiM amp to the 2.4G IoT and then put my iPhone on the IoT network. They would not communicate and the WiiM app was telling me to connect to the same network as the amp. My phone had no problems getting on the internet from the IoT network. I had to do a factory reset to get amp back on the main 2.4G network. Put my iPhone on the main 5G network and no problems.
It sounds like an issue with the device, when you have to do a factory reset to get it connected to the main 2.4 Ghz wifi. What security mode are you using for the main 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks?
Ok. So seems like the RS600 FW has an issue on the IoT network. Mines not working either.
For now I recommend you have the device connected to the main WLAN for now.
I've pass this to NG for review.
This is weird since both RS500 and 600 seem to use the same code base!
