It would be helpful if the SRK80 router supported defining firewall rules between VLANs. This would enable administrators to allow limited access to devices in other VLANs, more precisely than "Network Isolation" on (completely closed) or off (completely open).
A common use case of this feature would be to place IoT devices such as Chromecasts on an IoT VLAN and allow personal devices such as smartphones to control these IoT devices from a personal VLAN, withouth allowing IoT devices to access the personal VLAN. An example of this use-case is illustrated in OpenWRT which is already what the Orbi Pro Wifi 6 firmware is based on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvniZs8q3eU&t=310s

I'm not looking for static routes, nor mDNS service gateways, although the latter is useful for inter-VLAN Chromecasting, and is already implemented as of beta firmware v3.2.5.778.
What I'm looking for is the ability to forward traffic between zones, where the zones are associated with VLAN, e.g. devices on my personal VLAN can open connections to devices on my IoT VLAN, but devices on my IoT VLAN can not open connections to devices on my personal VLAN, although they can reply to requests made from devices on my personal VLAN.
This setup is described in the YouTube video I linked to in my original post.Thank you for your inputs.
Are you looking more for "static route" feature or mDNS service gateways ?
