Device Isolation in AP Mode
Device Isolation in AP Mode
2023-07-10 09:45:37
Model: Archer AX55  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.2.3 Build 20230603 rel.46473(4555

The additional IoT network and the Device Isolation feature in the current firmware seem to be working well when the router is in Wireless Router mode.  However in AP mode, the Device Isolation feature is not available. Testing shows that when using an additional router in AP mode, the IoT devices are not isolated even though they are listed in the Device Isolation list of the main router. Please consider adding the Device Isolation feature to the AP mode settings.

 

The workaround for now is to put the secondary router in the Wireless Router mode, operating independently of the main router, with both routers connected to the ISP router. This of course means double NAT, which for me is not a problem so far. Both routers use the same SSIDs but operate on different channels.

Hi, thank you very much for the feedback.

 

You mentioned "Testing shows that when using an additional router in AP mode, the IoT devices are not isolated even though they are listed in the Device Isolation list of the main router. "

The issue happens when the IoT devices are connected to AP instead of the main router, right?

 

We will record your suggestion and let the related engineer know about it for future consideration.

Yes, this occurs only when the devices are connected to the access point and not to the main router.
