Gotten in where? The new laptop was connecting to the network for the very  
first time.  The laptop could not be compromised, yet.

The laptop is me, admin rights to itself.  When connecting to the network  
for the first time, I was prompted to select "Is this a Home, Work or  
Public network?"  Since everything is mine anyway, I picked "Work".

But since the laptop can see all the other Network icons that represent  
the other pcs tells me that the wifi isolation is not isolating.   :(

I am ok with wired pcs connected.  But I certainly don't want any wireless  
device to spy on the network.

Meanwhile, I noticed that the config has an option to limit the number of  
devices connecting to any particular wireless SSID.  I haven't tested if a  
limit of "1" will block any further wireless connections.

But I think this smartRG sr360 is a piece of Sh*t.  And I found out much  
too late to "complain" to Acanac, I think.

Do you see any reason not to trust the config settings if you saw the ones  
that I posted?

SSID: ilovebooks-1, Isolate clients = YES.  And there is even another  
"Isolate Clients" setting above that.
