Device Isolation not working
I have a piaware ADSB service running on a raspberry PI. The device is connected via cable to the router. I want this device to be isolated.
I used the device isolation feature in the securuty section of my TP-LINK BE550.
How can I check if the device is really isolated? I can still ping it from any device inside my network and also reach it via it's web interface.

For the BE550 to be able to block traffic between certain devices the traffic has to actually flow through the BE550.
So, the Raspberry Pi should still be isolated from non-isolated devices that are directly connected to the BE550's LAN ports and Wi-Fi.
Client devices that are plugged into the 24-port switch can of course freely communicate with other devices that are also plugged into the 24-port switch, because that traffic does not pass through the BE550.

Hi,
I just tried to reproduce the behavior you described, but was not able to.
If all non-isolated devices in your BE550's local network can still communicate with the Raspberry Pi that is connected to one of the BE550's four LAN Ethernet ports, then verify again that you have added the device with the correct MAC address to the "Isolated Devices" list.
There does indeed exist a problem with Device Isolation on this and several other Archer router models, but that only shows for devices that are connected to the same Wi-Fi chip. (for example, isolated devices connected to 2.4 GHz can communicate with none-isolated devices that are also connected to 2.4 GHz, but not 5 GHz or Ethernet)

Thanks for testing this, I do indeed have a 24 Port switch connected to my BE550 and the Raspberry is plugged in there.
Does this make a difference?

Hi @Chaoszone,
Thank you for reporting your issue to our community.
May I know, what is the model of your switch?
It is recommended that you can remove the switch for a comparison test.Before that,please confirm that you have set 'Device Isolation' correctly. How to set up Device Isolation on a TP-Link Archer Router

Since I have connected the Raspberry directly into the BE550 it's working now. Maybe this should be made clear on the UI when setting up an isolated device.
Thanks everyone for helping.

Hi@Chaoszone,
Thanks for your reply.
It is good news to hear that your issue has been resolved.
When using different switches, in order not to affect the device isolation function on the router, it is usually necessary to assign independent VLANs to isolated devices and disable direct communication between ports, etc. These need to be modified according to the parameters of different switches.
Of course, if you are willing to maintain a direct connection to the BE550, that is also the most direct way to take effect.
Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
Best Regards~
