RAXE500 can not pass NAT device through WiFi, but it is ok if device through LAN

Hi 

As subject (RAXE500 can not pass NAT device through WiFi, but it is ok if device through LAN).

So, I would like to know the NAT is only support device connected with LAN cable?

Here is my test result.

1. Device <---LAN---> RAXE500 <---NAT---> Internet  (Pass)

2. Device <---WLAN---> RAXE500 <---NAT---> Internet  (Fail)

 

Thanks

    Dear all

    The problem is solved by network setting cause by our internal gateway setting. (for special reason the setting of gateway is not same as DHCP server if unit want to connect to internet.)

    and 2nd is check the ip in router (RAXE500) to make sure that can find it and the IP is correct.

     

    Thanks.

    What device are you trying to "pass nat" on? 

    What modem/gateway is the router connected to? 

    What firmware is on the router?

      Hi
      Thanks for your reply.
      1. The Device is notebook and service is FTP or http .
      2. The router is connected with adsl modem.
      3. The firmware of router is the latest.
      BTW, can you have more information for below reply?
      RAXE500-(LAN or Wi-Fi)>GS716T->--(LAN or Wi-Fi)>pi-hole
      I think it would be OK if GS716T connected with RAXE500 by LAN, but it will fail by WiFi

        details are key to helping out. Not just general statements or models. If your mechanic asked you what vehicle you had you said "its a car" thats not enough to help. 

        Same with your nat statement. What specifically isn't being passed? what issue in detail are you having
