Model: ER7206 (TL-ER7206)  
Hardware Version: V2
Firmware Version: 5.14.26.23

Good day all, Bit of a struggle with what I am attempting to do.  Currently I have the following Vlans set up.  Main, guest, Staff, media.  Goal is to allow only main and Staff to be able to control the music in different zones.  All zones are powered by WIIM.  Most are the Mini version so no ethernet, wifi only.  I have attempted mdns settings, ACL rules, etc.  But I can only see the WIIM if I log into that network.  Any assistance would be helpful if you have set anything like this up before.

Hi  @EliH 

Thanks for your valuable feedback.

May I ask what is your network topology? Which VLAN the media player is located or belongs to?

 If the controller method is an app or application that relies on actively scanning for and finding the devices, and doest support direct IP entry, its likely you are encountering the fact UDP broadcast ("HELLO HERE I AM") does not cross vlan boundaries

  @GRL Thanks for replying and sorry we got a bit distracted with others and now back at it.  So I put my wiim's on a "Media" VLAN that has a subnet of 192.168.50.xx. I did make a "media group" as well fyi. Now as long as the staff is logged into the "Media" network they can control it, but now the main (owner) network as well as the "staff" network we will not discover it.  Is there a setting that you can think of that would allow this UDP to work with all networks other than the guest network?  Thanks for your support.
