Implemented mDNS Service
Hello I was wondering in Omada where I can find the mDNS service ?
I have a TL-R605 router but some IoT devices (especially the once that use Apple HomeKit) do not work or better are unreachable when I put them in a different subnet using VLANs, this is very annoying.
Looking on internet everyone many tutorial (all made on Ubiquiti or sometimes other routers) explain that mDNS repeater is needed, but can't find it in Omada anywhere.
Or eventually is there a workaround or non explicit way to have this done ?
Thanks

@supermarkert Which country are you in? I've just looked for the UK and don't see anything (I'm using the OC200 v1.0)

Hi All,
FYI, the mDNS repeater will be added on Controller v5.6, probably released on October this year.
I'll keep you informed once there is more new information came up. Thanks for your attention and great patience!
Updated on October 17th, 2022:
The Omada Controller 5.6 will been released in succession this month, which has added mDNS repeater support.
Note that it still requires to upgrade the router firmware to the adapted firmware. And I haven't been informed of the date for the router firmware release yet, will actively update this post once new firmware is available for Omada router, welcome to subscribe!
@Fae So, still running on the 'jam tomorrow' mode of support .... fairly atrocious way of working from a business item of kit.

So, people asking is it ready are happy to have it in HW controler but in fact it is same as in Software controller.
Both are waiting for router firmware update.
Can someone point me where is it (screenshot guide)?

P.S. I'm already on beta on one site because address reservation only work with 1.2.2b
