R6300v2 - Firmware 1.0.4.8_10.0.77
Local network devices unable to ping or see each other. Breaks existing applications and wireless printer fails.
After applying the update I noticed that the router is operating is isolation mode. I don't mind the isolation mode but need to make certain local ips "pingable".
Any ideas on how to allow the printer and other ips to be seen?
Hi algox,
You can try re-flashing the firmware then do a factory reset. The links below may help out.

Did you do a factory reset after the firmware flash?
It isn't always necessary but it is the first thing to try if anything goes wrong.
Yes I did a factory reset. All of this happened only after applying the update.
Did you reset after the update?
It isn't clear from your answer.
I noticed a couple things:
- When logged into router I can't see ips of devices connected. Only happens on 2.4GHz.
- If I switch to 5GHz I can see device ips and I can ping other devices on network. Everything works as expected.
The problem is not every device is able to connect to 5GHz wireless network. So how I can downgrade and install previous firmware? Is there a website listing all firmware versions?
Thanks.

Not sure if re-flashing was the answer or doing factory reset via button instead of using link in admin panel. Or perhaps turning it off and on again but it's working now. Thanks!
