Is it possible to get a device on 5ghz band to see another device on the 2.4ghz band?
Hi Community. First, apologies, I dont know the all the correct jargon and terminology. Situation: I have a R6220, that transmits both on 2.4ghz and 5ghz simultaneously. The router admin pag...
- From your post, all your devices should be able to see each other. All ports and wireless bands are part of the VLAN. Change the SSID back to the default names
Don't know why the ISP asked you to setup a VLAN though...reset the router and see if the router will still be able to get access to Internet with your ISP. If it can then you don't need the VLAN
Reconnect all your devices and see if they can see each other
you absolutely don't need to change the SSID of the different bands.....all devices connected to the same router can see each other...unless you are a geek and you set up VLANs by yourself
the problem is most likely from windows designating the router as a public network which disables filesharing. once you reset the network to private, file and printer sharing will be enabled
Thanks for your response. It is intersting that you mentioned VLAN. In the setup instructions from the ISP it said to enable VLAN. At the time I thought I wonder what this is. So my VLAN settings are thus:
VLAN/IPTV Setup
Enable VLAN Tag: [Ticked]
Name: Internet
VLAN ID: 10
Priority: 0
Wired Devices: LANs 1,2,3, and 4 [all Ticked]
Wireless Devices: 2.4ghz and 5ghz [both ticked], Guest Wifi [not ticked]
Do you think I should turn all this stuff off to gain wireless conectivitiy between the 5ghz macbook 5ghz iphone and the 2.4ghz wireless speaker and printer? Should I also revert to seperate SSIDs?
Many Thanks for your help
