RAX120 WebUI access from different VLAN than PC
I have several Netgear routers I have accumulated over the years (AC2100, RAX78, RAX120v2). Trying to set each one up as access point on separate vlans so they can each have unique DHCP IP range (de...
Never used the RAX120 as a router. Only as a Access Point. I can try it but not sure what that would add to the issue. It works fine on all VLANS as an Access Point. I can connect to it fine when on same vlan as PC as noted. I just get the error when it is on a different VLAN I originally thought the firewall was the culprit but as described, I tested several steps to remove that as a possiblity. What I don't understand is why it works properly for the other two Access Points (RAX78, AC2100), but only fails with the RAX120. That in itself should remove firewall and switch as culprits. Note that I also daisy-chained another TL-SG108E and tested on ports on that switch with same results of the AC2100 and RAX78 working and only the RAX120 not working.
Thanks.
Are you using Dynamic or Static IP configuration for the RAX in AP mode? Static would be recommended.
I have tried both. But currently it is configured with DHCP and assigned a static address from the DHCP server. That allows me to see all connection info in one place in the DHCP lease report.
Thanks.
