I have the R7000 configured as an access point. Both wired and wireless devices are assigned an IP from the upstream router as expected. I can access the internet from both wired and wireless devices. But wireless devices that connect locally, like home automation devices such as outlet switches, locks, harmony hub, are not visible to apps that use them.
If all these IoT are on the R7000 in AP mode, it tastes to me that either the Wifi config does suppress direct connections between wireless devices in AP mode (no UI control AFAIK) or some protocols like broadcast, multicast, ICMP multicast - whatever is used - are blocked.

Following the recommendation there I have disabled the 2.6GHz wifi on the R7000 and enabled it instead on yet another AP, an Apple Time Capsule. Seems to work for everything except a Harmony Hub.
Firmware version is the latest currently availble, V1.0.9.26_10.2.31. I am wondering if this may be my problem. Let me know if there is someplace I can see where this problem is submitted so that I can monitor it. I would prefer to have my wi-fi on one device. My work-around is not ideal. As it is, I occassionly to have to connect to the low band wifi to reconnect with IoT devices.

V 1.0.9.28 has been released.
Router update said I had the latest. But I have now installed it manually.
Release notes only said there were "security fixes" but I will try it.
Well, I guess the problem I observed was a security issue because the latest firmware udpate worked for me - I have my IoT devices back on the R7000! Now it is only the Harmony iPhone app connection to the Harmony Hub that still doesn't work. It must use some other feature of wifi that is broken on the R7000. It worked when it was in Router mode.
