VLAN Tagging Prohibits LAN Communication & SmartConnect Issues
Resurrecting a problem that this post had -- https://community.netgear.com/t5/Nighthawk-Pro-Gaming-Routers/XR500-VLAN-tagging-making-wifi-devices-unable-to-communicate/td-p/1842061/page/3 Just bo...
Is Guest-Wifi the only option? That seems counter-intuitive, as Guest-WiFi should be more locked down and restrictive.
It's the only place where there is a specific option to allow communication on the internal network, it may not work but it's worth a try.
So here's some more testing --
Normal 5ghz Network: Ping to ethernet host succeeds, ssh fails.
Guest Network: Ping and SSH both fail.
- That was with 'Allow guests to see each other and access my local network' enabled?
Thanks for double checking. Now it is -- and it's the same behavior as the normal network. So SSH fails, pings succeed.
