oh ok.. so it depends on the iot.. that makes more sense.. thanks.

Sorry, I am still a little confused...how come those iot devices work fine with the internet blocked when they are connected to the main wifi network? But, when they are connected to a wifi network that is on a different subnet (using vlan), they do not work if internet access is disabled. I...

I have seen that some iot devices are able to be controlled by an app when internet is blocked, but they need to be connected to the main network. If they are on a vlan, for example, they do not work when blocking internet access. Why would that be? why can internet be blocked when connected to...

ok thank you.

Is it safe to allow IoT devices to access the internet? I've always wondered about that. I tend to block internet to all my IoT devices as I think it's more secure. Is there a real security risk to allow Iot devices to have access to the internet even if they are on a separate network and isolated?

Recently the YazFi page on my router gets stuck. Hard to explain, but when I go to the YazFi tab, I am able to scroll one time and then the whole page freezes. When I refresh the page, then I can continue to scroll up or down the page but only for a second before it gets stuck again. At first I...

@SomeWhereOverTheRainBow any recent updates on your doh ip block list? I notice when using https://doh.cleanbrowsing.org/doh/family-filter{?dns} in Edge browser as the Secure DNS, it bypasses filtering. How can I add that to the block list?

I was able to find out what the issue was with mine. I use Pihole as an adblocker and it is blocking Internet access when disabling Intranet on Guest Networks. If you are using Pihole, you can test this by connecting to the Guest Network and simply changing the DNS server on that device and you...

I too have this issue with Guest Networks. No matter which one of the 3 I use. If Intranet is disabled, there is no internet at all for devices connected to the Guest Networks.

I have this issue as well. It doesn't matter which Guest Network I use, 1-3 or what type of SSID or password. If Intranet Access is disabled, it blocks Internet access altogether. As soon as I enable it, then Internet access comes back. I don't remember it being this way in the past.

Does disabling Intranet blocks internet altogether? No matter if I use Guest Network 1-3, if Intranet Access is disabled, there is no internet at all. As soon as I enable it, then internet comes back. Is that the intended behavior for Intranet Access option?

When I use Guest Network and disable Intranet, it completely blocks internet altogether. As soon as I enable Intranet, then internet comes back. I have already made a post and I am waiting on a response. I am not sure this is the intended behavior.

I use Asus also and I noticed after the last update, DDNS keeps going to inactive status every few days.

My concern is that this company called WYZE are known for dialing home (China). They say they don't do that anymore, but I just don't trust them. So when I disable internet access, I can view them while inside my network, but every few minutes the screen says disconnected, but then it...

On the Connections tab, I see the camera there and I can see an external destination IP. Does that mean that IP is where the camera is trying to connect to?
