What if we could have a superuser network that could cut across network isolation?

What if we could have a superuser network that could cut across network isolation?

Scenarion:
- wireless 1: owner's network (superuser)

- wireless 2: a network for guests, with network isolation

Disired outcome:
- How can wireless 1 see devices on wireless 2?
- How can we ensure wireless 2 has no visibility of devices on wireless 1?

I want W2 guests to be able to access Sonos, lights, fans that would be on W2, but not devices set on W1. All this while enabling W1 (superuser) to see IoT devices on any network.

The networks are logically isolated VLANs, making up (almost) fully independent networks - this implies different IP subnetworks. No magic L2 tricks feasible.

Can you try out mDNS Gateway feature and provide feedbacks.

We have released mDNS service gateway on both SXK80 and SXK30. Both the firmwares are available on the beta forum.
