This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I am very new to home networking so appologies if I do not use the correct terminology. My setup consists of ER605 router, OC200 controller, SG2210P switch, EAP660 HD and EAP655 wall. We are a Apple household and use Apple Homekit for all of our smart devices which we have 26 homekit devices. All of these are on an IoT VLAN including my 2 homepod minis and 3 Apple TVs which are connect to ethernet on the IoT network. All of our iPhones, iPads and macbooks are on the main network.
Here are my curent ACLs below
When I turn on mDNS through the Gateway device type, the HomePod network mismatch goes away and my Homepods gain full functionality int the Home App which is great. However, I also have a few clients that become unresponosive in the Home App. Mainly my doorbell (Logitech Circle View Doorbell) and my 2 thermostats (Honeywell T6 Pro Smart Thermostat). I disable mDNS and the devices become responsive again in the Home App. I have tried resetting the devices while mDNS is enabled but that did nothing.
I have tried to get my neighbor to help with my setup but he uses a Ubiquiti setup in his home and is very unfamiliar with Omada and Apple for that matter.
Can anyone help with this or can someone point me in the right direction for this mDNS issue I am having with my clients to go unresponsive in the Home App?

Hi,
I'm fairly new to home networking and seeking help regarding an mDNS issue I'm experiencing with my Apple Homekit setup. Here's a brief overview of my current setup: I have an ER605 router, OC200 controller, SG2210P switch, EAP660 HD, and EAP655 wall. All my smart devices (26 homekit devices) are on an IoT VLAN, including 2 HomePod minis and 3 Apple TVs connected via Ethernet on the IoT network. Our iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks are on the main network.
When I enable mDNS through the Gateway device type, the HomePod network mismatch is resolved, and my HomePods work perfectly within the Home App. However, enabling Garage Door mDNS causes some other devices to become unresponsive in the Home App, specifically my Logitech Circle View Doorbell and Honeywell T6 Pro Smart Thermostats. Disabling mDNS restores the responsiveness of these devices.
I've attempted resetting the devices while mDNS is enabled, but it hasn't resolved the issue. I've also reached out to a neighbor who uses a Ubiquiti setup, but he is unfamiliar with Omada and Apple Homekit.
I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance in resolving this mDNS issue, or if someone could direct me to the right resources or community where I can find a solution.
Thank you for your time and help.
