If you have a spare interface on your pfSense you could use that dedicated to your IoT.Right, problem is, it is the same parent interface. Otherwise I would just run the Asus on an interface with no IPv6 at all, but I only have one connection here.
What you should do now is connect everything as above and run Wireshark on your PC to see what's going on exactly.I had, but it made no difference, now a dumb switch is between and my machine is connected to it.
Lets see if this is still the case tomorrow.Good to hear that Bob.

Now things get more complicated but I have to cope with that. for instance another interface means another subnet. I could bridge them but pfSense is sometimes really ugly, I better don't touch "LAN" on pfSense, but I getting really off-topic now.
Yes it does. But the real beauty of an router doing VLANs, like the asus did thanks to you, is that you have another VLAN-Switch and VLAN-Access-Point on one device. And I need this in "my" room, the Zyxel is elsewhere next to pfSense.Does your Zyxel switch support 802.1Q VLANs? .
