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 network. It also connected to the internet but could not connect to the devices. Works no different than a guest network. Then switched everything back and working fine. What a waste of time and emotion.

Sorry I caused confusion. There is definitely no consensus that the IoT network should behave like the Guest network. Some users would prefer IoT devices to be separated from the primary network.
(and, there may be some users who would prefer that devices on the IoT network not be able to communicate with each other as well.)
