Hi Guys,
I've been running TPLink Omada system for over a year now and has been troublesome with various homekit devices so I've tried to isolate these devices via VLANs and etc.
Can someone assist on the best VLAN configuration and ACLs to isolate IoT network?
I've got the following VLANs
1 - 192.168.0.1/24 - Management (Default)
10 - 192.168.10.1/24 - LAN (Main)
20 - 192.168.20.1/24 - IoT
30 - 192.168.30.1/24 - Kids
40 - 192.168.40.1/24 - Guest
Currently all VLANs can talk to each other as no ACL has been set. Also I've read up about when using VLANs need to use mDNS service??
Currently my most troublesome homekit device is a Meross Smart Garage Door which reports offline and needs Omada system, Device to be restarted and some occasions need to factory reset Device (Garage Door opener).
Looking for IoT Devices to be isolated but have access to the internet.
Thanks
Shane

Update on this issue...
I've since replaced with a brand new Meross Garage Door opener and after being setup for just over 24 hours back to same issues with red light and cannot connect over WiFi. Found ping keeps being dropped out...It must be have something with the Omada setup but not sure what to do next?!?!

Shane

Update so far
* Since the New Garage Door Opener failed less than 24 hours after it was configured made one change to the Omada system is to enable "Airtime Fairness". This allowed it to work for another week or so.
* Since a recent reboot of my devices now got the same issues again. Dropping Packets, the LED goes red sometimes. Works via Meross App but not HomeKIt and etc.
* 2.4 GHz saturation issue I believe so tried various settings with Channels, Width and power but hasn't really helped.
As for moving to a different location, I've not had the chance as need to control the door. I can try assigning it to one AP and see if that makes a difference to isolate if it's the AP causing the issue. I might do that next.
It's been very frustrating as have gone all in with TPLINK Omada but has never been able to get the Meross Garage Door opener to work consistently! My next door neighbour has the same device and has never had issues but uses a different WiFi mesh system. 3 years now and still not resolved!
Any help identifying this issue would be helpful. I'm using EAP245's so wondering if need to change my APs to something else?
Regards,
Shane

Are you by chance running an ER605? If so, what hardware and firmware versions are you running on. There have been a number of recent posts regarding DHCP issues with this router.

How would you feel about rolling back to 2.1.1 (force manual upgrade) for a bit to see if problem persists?

Sorry to hear that you're still experiencing issues even after replacing the Garage Door Opener with a new one. The recurring red light and inability to connect over WiFi can be frustrating. Since you suspect it might be related to the Omada setup, it's advisable to reach out to their support team for further assistance. They should be able to help diagnose the problem and provide guidance on what steps to take next. Hopefully, they will be able to help resolve the issue for you.
