Cannot figure out how to disable isolation for google home devices

Hello there,

So I got a interesting situation currently I have setup a bridge with two DSA vlans 1 and 90 on openwrt 22.02 on the flint release 3 firmware from github.

In openwrt I made two different interfaces:

tvnet which shares a 172.18.x.x ip address from vlan 1.
zigbee_net which shares 10.33.xx.x ip address from vlan 90.

The zigbee_net interface also gets covered by the wireless network.

So far everything works and every device gets the correct settings, so I can confirm that the vlans just work fine.

Until with one device which is a mi smart clock, when I go through the setup via google home on my phone, I can make the clock make connection to my wireless AP, but then it also wants to find my own device inside the network and that fails even if I connect to the wireless AP myself.

I have tried to enable multicast… And igmp snooping but for some reason I keep getting the warning that the AP is isolated inside the google home app, though inside the bridge settings there is a checkbox called port isolation which is unchecked (default value)

So far I think with the bare configuration on the bridge it should not be isolated unless I’m missing something with 22.02 since DSA is very new in openwrt

I’m confused why this is, could it be a internal script which turns my access point into a guest wireless access point?

Thanks

Can you check if “Isolate clients” has been turned on for the wireless interface?

I do not work for and I am not directly associated with GL.iNet

Hi,

Isolate clients is off, I suspect it might be a script since I have 3 APs on 2.4 ghz it shows on the gl-inet gui as a guest network, I gonna do later another check with iwpriv and check some scripts.

edit
it seems I cannot read out iwpriv I think its due the wlan_ap driver, but its strange that google home keeps saying that it is isolated, I can ping my wireless connected hp printer from lan so it isn’t isolated.
