I feel compelled to just add that with the new unifi AP, wireless isolation works. But not before disabling the tailnet completely on the test device (the phone). I feel bad making such a mistake, but I believe Tailscale has been sneaking behind my back, creating a backdoor into the LAN without me noticing. Anyway, that wraps up this horror episode, and we can all go back to living happy lives.

The story does not tell if the AP purchase was completely unnecessary. Blaming the synology AP might have been unfair. But I'd rather leave this all behind for now.

Tailnet = TailScale and it was runnning all the time or something ?!

Please explain, because I have no idea what you mean exactly ?

IMHO you did the right thing, because the Synology seems very "features limited" without resorting to flashing it with alternative firmware if that's even possible ;)
