R6220: WiFi and wired behave as two separate networks
Between Google searches and other posts on this forum I've seen others express similar issues, but no resolution as far as I can tell. So I'll try to explain exactly what I'm seeing, in the hope that...
So I think the issue is finally resolved. I downloaded the latest firmware from the router's support page and reinstalled it. After the factory reset post-install, suddenly everything started communicating correctly.
Not sure why my previous resets didn't work, but at least my router actually routes now.
Although the modem is entirely irrelevant since it's not even considered to be part of the same network (it's upstream from the router), it's an Alcatel-Lucent G-240G-A ONT (fiber).
I've listed the other devices in pretty high detail already.
As far as other discussions:
"Can't see devices on the wired network from the wireless device" (a number of responses, none of which solved the issue and degraded into semantic arguments)
"Can't ping wireless devices from lan" (different Netgear router, lots of really questionable advice)
"Wireless devices can not connet to wired devices" (suggests that previous versions had a 'wireless isolation' checkbox that is no longer present in newer devices or firmware, but the behavior sounds like this box is checked)

Hopelessly wrong. Modem and router are invariably a part of the same network. The router does what it says, it routes the stuff that connects to the internet through the modem. That's why this is one of the first questions when someone turns up with a question about their router.
Maybe you have something magic. In which case, I leave you to the tender mercies of people who understand this stuff.

Someone seems to be. Traffic between wired and wireless clients on
one router is all-LAN, and should not involve the modem.
Is a formal support request to Netgear still practical?
