NetGear MR60 Router - WiFi Connectivity Issue between two computers

What platform is the "Jetson" computer? Windows? Linux? 

Be sure any firewalls or security apps are disabled on these PCs that could be blocking.

Armor or Smart Parental controls enabled by chance on the MR?

1. What firmware is the MR60 running?
2. Can either machine ping the MR60 LAN address?
3. Have you made sure that the Mac firewall doesn't have "Stealth mode" enabled?  That would block Jetson attempts to ping the Mac (but not vice-versa).
4. Are both machines connected to the same MR60 mesh element?
5. Are both machines getting their IP addresses with DHCP?

FWIW, there is an old unresolved discussion thread here that is related:

If you are still running V1.1.7.134_2.0.65.2 firmware, then start by updating it.

Jetson is an AI platform made by NVIDIA.  They run Jetson Linux (formerly called Linux for Tegra).  This is derived from Ubuntu.

I upgraded the firmware as mine was V1.1.7.134_2.0.65

Now I am able to ping Jetson from my MacBook.  I am also able to ssh.

Now somewhat peculiar issue,  one of the satellites wasn't able to come back online.  It is having white blinking light.

I had to restart the Jetson and logged back in from the monitor to Jetson.  I cannot ping to Jetson now from MacBook.  I guess I did not resolve my earlier issue.  

Just to add additional information ...  I have now only one satellite and both MacBook and Jetson are connected to that.

Hi samuraineet​ 

I am sorry that I am replying to this very old post.  However I am seeing the same issue in my network.  I use MR60 and MS60.  Both MacBook and Ubuntu linux machines are on the WiFi.  They cannot see each other.  They can individually ping the router IP,  or even the Internet but not each other.   Do you have any suggestions that I should look at?  Thank you.

I turned off Access Control completely.  I tested ssh.  I was able to connect to Jetson.
