WAC124 can only to internal hardwired network using Wireless 1
I use wireless in my laptop, and besides Internet access, I need to get to the network share in a Windows 10 computer.
The three wireless channels are set up the same. However, I can only access the local shares if I connect using Wireless 1.
Has anyone run into this, and is there a setting I am missing?
Thank you.

Manage access to LAN ports for WiFi clients of the Wireless 2 network
You can manage whether WiFi clients can directly access devices that are connected to LAN ports of the access point/router. For example, if you connect a printer to LAN port 3 and a server to LAN port 4, WiFi clients might be able to access the printer and the server.Access to LAN ports depends on the WiFi network that the clients are connected to and whether you enabled such access:
- Wireless 1. By default, WiFi clients that are connected to the Wireless 1 network can access devices that are connected to the LAN ports of the access point/router. For the Wireless 1 network, you cannot disable this type of access.
- Wireless 2. For the Wireless 2 network only, you can configure whether WiFi clients can access devices that are connected to the LAN ports. By default, such access is disabled. ...
- Wireless 3. By default, WiFi clients that are connected to the Wireless 3 network cannot access devices that are connected to the LAN ports. For the Wireless 3 network, you cannot enable this type of access.

p.68 ff Manage SSID isolation for all WiFi networks
Thank you, I tried disabling SSID isolation, but that did not help.
Whether SSID isolation is on or off, when I browse the network, I do not see any shared folders, printers, etc., with Wireless 2 or 3.
