I was about to upgrade a client's AP910C AP's when I noted the following as a footnote on v1.2.7 when browsing Draytek.com:

To enhance the security among wireless clients, the SSIDs on the different bands (2.4GHz
/ 5GHz) will be isolated. That is, wireless clients with different bands can not
communicate with each others even they are on the same subnet.



So basically, as I read it, a printer on 2.4Ghz cannot communicate with a Laptop on 5ghz. If this is correct, it renders the device completely and utterly redundant... Can anyone confirm if I am reading it right? I have checked the release notes from .co.uk and this footnote does not appear. I am concerned now that it is the case and they simply didn't bother listing it on the release notes.

The isolation can be switched off in the AP setup with the latest version 1.2.7 under the "Advanced Setting".
