@moral That is the correct behavior. When you turn on client isolation, it is turned on for the VLAN, which may encompass both WiFi bands and wired connections. Maybe the UI should be updated to auto-check client isolation on the other band when it is checked for one band.

@bashdashovi There’s probably something else then. We didn’t have any problems with calendars keep blocking when they’re supposed to be back on. The last update did not touch the Access Control functions either.

Can you send a copy of your backup file to [email protected]?

@bashdashovi You may try putting all Echo devices in a dedicated profile and selecting a non-filtering DNS such as 1.1.1.1.

[support]

@BashDashovi Is Ad blocking enabled on the profile? If so, check the Internet logs for which domains required by Echo was blocked as Ad. Post those domains here and we’ll remove those from the ad blocking list.

As an immediate test, you can create a separate profile for the Echo devices and disable Ad blocking for the profile.

@20muhanna04 You may check the Internet Access logs to see if any domain needed by Google Meet is blocked.

You are right.

The difference between guest and x1 is just the name.

@James You can do a rollback from the System Settings screen. Click Check for Updates, in the popup, click the Rollback button.

There’s no known issue with modem compatibility for recent updates. What problems are you encountering?

[support]

All devices you connect to the same VLAN will be on the same network. If you connect a device on X1 from the 2.4GHz band, a device from the 5GHz band, and a device on an Ethernet port, all of them will be on the same network. They’ll be able to talk to each other. If you want to isolate the devices from each other, you can check the “Enable WiFi client isolation” box in Wireless Settings.

@aorus1 Thanks for your suggestions. We’ll see what we can do.

[support]

@aorus1 Yes it is built on OpenWrt. There are some integration points with pcwrt.com for notifications and remote management etc. We can potentially make it available for more hardware options but we won’t be able to support all of them.

[support]

@aorus1 Thanks for your inquiry. We’re looking into adding support for WiFi 6 capable hardware. However, that’s going to take some time.

For the time being, if you have a powerful WiFi router already, one plausible solution is to use your existing WiFi router as an Access Point. Connect to the pcWRT by wire and turn off WiFi on the pcWRT. Since WiFi is shifted to your existing router, the Newifi D2 (with dual core CPU, 512 MB RAM and hardware accelerated NAT) should be powerful enough to handle most needs.

@blarg Reddit pictures inadvertently blocked by the ad blocker. This has been fixed. Rebooting your router should fix this.

@knoxploration You’ll need to create a second Calendar. Enter the time slots and the domains needed to set up a Google hangouts call.

In addition to hangouts.google.com, you probably need accounts.google.com and/or accounts.youtube.com.

Try to set up a call between a device connected to WiFi and a phone on LTE/5G mobile network connection. See what domains are blocked by Calendar in the Internet logs. Add the needed domains to the Calendar until you can establish the Hangouts call successfully.

Glad to know you got it working! BTW, if you are putting Access Control on devices, you might want to check if the MAC address changes when connecting from the range extender. If so, you may need to assign the new MAC address the same device name as when the device connects directly to the router. That way, the device will be identified by the same name whether it’s connected directly to the router or connected through the range extender.
