  @Michmike,

This is generally the intended behavior. 

 

The Guest Network for Deco Networks will automatically isolate the devices on the Guest Network from seeing the devices on the main network, and vice-versa.

 

I would assume that your smart plug has lost its cloud connection, so it is connected to the network but does not have a cloud connection - meaning it can only be controlled while your phone is inside that isolated pool of devices (guest network). Your camera likely has its cloud connection or is effectively communicating with the internet and back to your phone. The behavior of your plug is a bit odd, and is most likely dependent on the type, what brand / model of plug are you using?

 

 

The only thing being blocked is the communication between your wireless networks and this is the intended function of the guest network.

 

 

I would recommend checking for firmware updates and seeing if your version has received the IoT network feature, as this will not isolate the devices by default and will allow your phone to communicate with the devices on the IoT network. If you want to isolate a device on the IoT network, there will also be a new "Device Isolation" feature on the security page.
