Orbi Wireless devices, can not see wired devices - but can ping.

I have the RBR50v2 in AP Mode, with 3 satelites.  (latest firmware)

I have a Ubiquity EdgeMax 12 router, with the following settings.  (latest firmware)

 

I have a "wired resources" network as 192.168.1.0/24.

I have a "Wireless (Orbi)" network as 192.168.2.0/24.

I have a "wired devices" network as 192.168.3.0/24.

 

The EdgeMax router has no static routing specified, and support has confirmed, that by default, all connections, all procols, communicates with all networks. 

 

The Orbi router, is in AP mode with IP supplied by DHCP, and seems to pass traffic correctly. (ie. wireless clients can surf, etc with no issues)  I am able to ping any device from a wireless client to any device on any of the the other networks. 

 

MY ISSUE:

- I can not map a drive in Wiindows from a wireless client. (can from wired)

- I can not print\browse a wireless printer, from a wired client. 

- I can not access a web interface for a NAS device  on 2 of the 5 wired Nas devices, from a wireless client. (Net Gear ReadyNAS =Yes, QNAP = No)

- Wireless Apple TV devices can not communicate with a wired Raspberry PI. 

- Silicon HomeRun is seen on wired connection, but not seen by wireless application.

    What happens if you put the Orbi system on the same IP address network as the wired network?

     

    What FW version are you using?

      When I plug into my "wired devices" network as 192.168.3.0/24, I get an IP address on that network, and the functionality is the same (not working correctly).

        Seems like something may not be configured on the router. Orbi when in AP mode would not be blocking anything. However most configuration are using the same IP address submet while in AP mode with the RBR.
