Want to access LAN resources over Wifi WNDR4500v3

Hello I have a WNDR4500v3 – N900 WiFi Dual Band Gigabit Router that I have set up for my small business. We would like to be able to access the same network folders that we can access over LAN, over Wifi. 

 

How can I set this up? Any help is appreciated

    Thanks for responding and welcoming me to the community.

     

    I meant that I had folders on a computer on the network that I could share with devices on the LAN, but could not see those same folders/devices when accessing the network via WiFi.

     

    I resolved the issue by selecting to use AP Mode for the device.

    Hello jrab

     

    Welcome to the community!

     

    What do you mean by accessing the same network folders?

    Are the network folders from a computer? From a NAS? From a USB HD attached to the router?

    Can you kindly elaborate more on what you're trying to achieve?

        Sounds like wireless isolation is enabled.

        Thank you for the update!
