WLAN devices cannot see LAN devices

Hello,

So I have a problem that I can't seem to solve. My WLAN devices cannot see my LAN stuff. Not only that but they connect with my public IP address. For example, I try to access my NAS through my laptop and it doesn't let me do that. I check on the logs and the laptop is trying to access from my public IP adress. Any idea what the hell is happening?

 

Thanks.

      Crowder do you have your laptop connected to your ISP modem WiFi by mistake as that shouldn't be possible. Regardless, it is an issue NG are aware of and unfortunately so far I haven't found a suitable workaround

        No, my ISP router is in bridge mode with everything disabled, no Wifi, or anything else other that provide internet to the netgear router. The weird part is that it used to work fine, I don't know how long ago, I just discovered this issue while trying to watch some Plex content on my Chromecast.

         

        If it's something that cannot be solved user-side... well, I'll have to contact Amazon.

         

        Thanks!
