Firmware Version: 1.0.0 0.9.1 v009f.0 Build 190419 Rel.34272n

Folks,

On my vlan settings there is an option to choose whether or not to isolate.

What would be the point of NOT isolating? I could understand if this was an editable option, temporary disable useful for network checking but seems once chosen then no option to disable.

@Geffers

Hi, did you mean the group isolation on the following page:

@TP-Link

Yes, I did mean the group isolation.

For practice I've created a group both with and without isolation. Without isolation I seem to be able to access either subnet, no issue but wonder why create a second subnet if effectively they are all accessible to each other.
