1. what modem/gateway is the router connected to? Modem is a hiltronics, this shouldn't be a factor because if I disconnect it the problem persists.
2. what firmware is on the router? V1.0.11.112_2.0.77
3. Do you have your home network set as private on the windows pc's? No I don't and they work when I bring them to work.
4. Is there a difference from wired devices to wireless? Yes! I can ping hardwired devices from wireless devices.

Thanks I will check this, however like I mentioned if the modem is disconnected from the network I still face the same issue.
2. what firmware is on the router? V1.0.11.112_2.0.77---good. Its current. Ever tried any factory reset to see if it works with the default settings?
This will be my next step

Sorry yes I do have it set as private. Even when the firewall is turned off though I can't ping machines.

Strangely though RDP works on the machines anywhere else.
It's very strange that any devices on the wireless network can't ping one another, however, I can ping the router and wired devices.

Are any of your wireless devices on a guest network?
If yes, is your guest network configured to allow guests to see each other and have access to the local network?
