With this firewall rule in place, all clients connected to the hotspot will have access to the router's WebUI using the router LAN address (in our case, 192.168.5.1) and can reach the TAP100 WebUI via the tap100.rutos.net address.

==Isolating hotspot clients communication==
In our default setup, hotspot clients have the ability to communicate with each other. To restrict this communication, we'll need to make an adjustment on both your TAP100 device and your router.
<ol>
<li> Access your TAP100 WebUI. </li>
<li> Navigate to '''Network -> Wireless''' and click on the "Edit" button for your interface. </li>
<li> In the configuration window, go to the Advanced Settings section and enable the "Isolate Clients" option by clicking the "ON" button. </li>
</ol>

To further ensure that clients connected to the router's Wi-Fi interface cannot communicate with hotspot clients, I recommend enabling the "Isolate Clients" option on your router wi-fi interface as well.
By implementing these adjustments, you'll effectively prevent communication between hotspot and Wi-Fi clients.
