WAX204 connection between wifi clients timeout
Making a simple http session between clients false, setup set for No ssid and No client isolation. Works for other types of wifi setup, like android hot spots.

- The failure is connection timeout indicating isolation is in effect.
Probably it is? Two of the three wireless networks (SSIDs) can be configured for client isolation.

What does mean configured for "no SSID"?
Hardware-version WAX204
Firmware-version V1.0.2.4
No SSID and no Client isolation should be No SSID isolation and no Client isolation.
I have tested on all 3 wireless settings supported by was204.
I use SSID isolation deactivated.
Here are my settigs for wireless 3:
wireless network active
SSID NETGEAR51E218-3
Client isolation deactivated
Here a a little more details about the http setup.
One of my wifi clients runs windows and ion this platform I run the vpn http-server.
vpn http-server is a fairly simple http server available on most platforms.
Another wifi client is an android phone where I access the vpn http-server using a Chrome browser.
Both clients run on wax204 wireless 3 network.
Here I observer that the browser connection fails with a timeout.
If I make the same senario using a android hot-spot wireless network I have no problems getting the clients connected.
This make me conclude that some kind of isolation is still in effect on wax204 dispite the fact that I have turned it off.
