Help disabling Access Point (AP) Isolation - Google nest router

Hi, I hope you can help me, I've trawled this forum and Google but can't find an answer to my problem. I recently purchased two Google Audio speakers which I want to set up as a stereo pair. However when I try to do that via my Google Nest router, I get an error message that tells me to: 1. Disable my Access Point/AP Isolation; and 2, Enable UPnP.

I can't find the setting in my Google Home app to disable API. The choices I have in Advanced Settings are:

Use WiFi protected access 3
UPnP
IPv6

Network Configuation:

DNS
WAN
LAN
DHCP IP reservations
Port management
Network Mode

Within those setting headings the choice to change AP Isolation does not exist. Can someone please help to me find the setting?

The problem definitely isn't with the Google Audio speakers; I've set them up on an alternate network and they work fine as a stereo pair; so the problem must be with the Google nest. I'm using Android 13 on a samsung tablet, and all the software is up to date.

Thanks!

David

Google Wifi and Nest Wifi don't have a setting for this as client/AP isolation is not enabled on the primary Wifi network. Do you have UPnP turned on?

In the Google Home app > Favorites > Wi-Fi > Network settings > Advanced networking > UPnP needs to be enabled.
