I’ve setup a guest network for IoT devices and the like using YazFi on Slot 2 on both the 2.4ghz and 5ghz band, using the same SSID and Password for both, different IP ranges and “one way to guest” for both as I don’t want devices to communicate out to the “standard LAN”, but allow the “standard LAN” to communicate in to them.

The problem is the 2 guest networks can’t communicate between one another so things like Amazon Multi-Room Music doesn't work as it wants both (or more) Echo devices on the same network.

Is there anything that can be done to allow the 2 guest networks to communicate with eachother, but not to the main LAN?

Here's one possible solution using a script in "/jffs/addons/YazFi.d/userscripts.d/" folder, as discussed here on this thread:
