R7800 wireless clients cannot connect to lan clients
Hello, I have the latest firmware 1.0.2.04 on R7800 and have an issue where my wifi client cannot access servers on lan on the same router. I found suggestions about firmware resets and turning o...
evel I'm using Kong Mod from myopenrouter.com. It's a straightforward process on how to replace the firmware (just look at the latest article). For VLAN tagging, you'll need to create a VLAN on eth0 (default WAN) interface (Setup->Networking) and assign a newly created port as WAN port on the same page. Once you're online - you can easily do the rest (wifi, services, etc). WIFI->LAN works right away.
Thx, Mansus.
DrCthulhu it seems your're not the only one with CenturyLink issues. A quick search shows http://www.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=300259&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15&sid=43b3a6aa43349a3e1540902fb0a7750a
So it seems the easiest solution would be to buy a cheap managed switch and tag the port where CL is connected with VLAN201
Thx, Mansus.

Thanks mansus I did find that. I think I'm just going to return the r7800 and get an asus rt-ac3200 similar specs and people have actually got it working with Centurylink and their wireless networks. It is mind boggling to me that a $230 router cannot handle a simple task of allowing wireless and wired networks to talk to each other. That is simply inexcusable.
well shoot. thanks for posting your experience with CL and Kong. I haven't had a chance to give it a go. I'll skip it now and not waste my time.
I may hook up my NAS via USB. Pain in the butt workaround but than nothing for now.
Some new tests showed me that enabled VLAN-ID on the WAN interface is causing this issue.
I'm in contact with Netgear Support now, if we can solve this issue I will inform you guys here.
Hi,
How it's going with this?
I have exactly same problem i cannot reach LAN devices from WIFI networks. My current setup:
I recently bought a NAS and connected it to LAN however I'm not able to connect it from WIFI (ping works fine but nothing else HTTP/HTTPS/SMB)
