Wired devices cannot connect with wireless devices

Hi,

 

Hope someone can help me with this issue. Since I changed my ISP I cannot connect wired devices with wireless devices in my home network. I have tried everything, restoring the router, changing some options and nothing...

 

To give you some examples, I cannot do game streaming on my Xbox One (Wired) to my laptop (wireless), watching a Plex movie from mny laptop (wireless) to my TV (wired) or use Chrome Remote Control from my PC (wired) to my laptop (wireless). I took a look at the logs and when trying for example the game streaming, the router is detecting the connection as a DOS attack. I tried to deactivate de DOS attack protection but still cannot connect.

 

I know it is not my ISP fault because when using the router from my ISP all work flawleslly. Any ideas?

 

Thanks a lot

    that whole "the router from my isp works flawlessly" seems to indicate that you have it running on the network .

    How exactly is your network setup with models/setup.

    modem/gateway-------->router----->another router?/switches? 

     

    be specific in what you have setup and running. You could be in a double nat if you have 2 routers running on the same network.
