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 ...
I will disable smart connect and see, because I was testing the IoT network before enabling smart connect and could ping IoT devices from the main or IoT wifi.
Smart Connect was enabled on my RS700 prior to enabling the IoT network.
The IoT network and the devices connected to it are fully isolated in the LAN. I couldn't set up or control my soundbar when I connect it to the IoT network and my phone to the main or IoT wifi.
Are you able to ping the devices in IoT wifi from the devices connected to the main wifi or IoT wifi. Could you also ping or access the router web UI from the IoT wifi? in the RS500, the IoT network could access only the WAN and has fully isolated LAN. My smartlock works from the IoT wifi or main wifi, but my soundbar doesn't.
I didn't ping my two PCs on the IoT network, however mouse without boaders app I use that connects to PCs together worked with both PCs connected on the IoT network together.
Waiting on feedback on this issue. Possible we may see isolation from the main LAN/WAN with IoT with the NH routers. However I would expect devices connected on the same IoT network should not be isolated from each other while on the IoT network and would have WAN side access.
Weather IoT network will not be isolated from the main LAN/WLAN, will be up to NG.
