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.
i even did factory reset and default settings and still couldnt connect to LAN side from WLAN, i am now using a ASUS router and have no issues at all.
after chatting with support even with skype we couldnt fix this issue, that made me bring the router back and declare it as a factory defect.
my ASUS is much more user friendly and more stable, i will never go back to Netgear routers (switches they are the best but routers i wont even bother anymore).
this router is nothing compared to ASUS RT-AC87U, and the ASUS was cheaper.
i know that support is not to blame, we spend hours together trying to even pin point the issue, but the firmware is seriously not ok imo.
I don't have the luxury of returning mine. I'm well past Frys return date. It was working fantastically until updated the firmware and enabled VLAN. I ran another CAT6. Now I don't have anything on wireless that needs to access wired storage. Sad workaround but it is what it is at this point.
Can you down grade FW to what had been working?
Does it work if you don't use any VLAN configurations?

i tried with and without VLAN, problem is that WLAN is isolated (partially) with LAN, any LAN configuration will not fix this issue as i have been told and tested with the support staff.
i also tried downgrading FW but could not get it working on the lowest one i could find.
not only SSH won't work but also accessing webservices on LAN such as webinterface of a NAS, VNC won't work over WLAN too, shares do work but i had trouble getting a fast timemachine working for my macbook, so it seems it is very slow or even times out.
to be honest, i do not think that this is fixed within current firmware and settings.
maybe there is a hidden Isolate feature in the firmware enabled but the option to disable it isn't there.
i have heard that that option was there on the very very early firmware releases but i couldnt find it.
i hope (for the community and reputation of NETGEAR) that someone will come forward and say that this is a bug, it still boggles my mind that when i spoke to support they didnt even know about this issue.
i discovered this issue when i was configuring a raspberry pi and couldnt ssh so i spend night after night trying to figure it out and thougt it was my knowledge lacking, anyway i purchased a NAS also that day and couldnt get into the webinterface, so i returned 2!!!!! models of QNAP nasses to te shop and told them they are defective.
after a while i plugged in my laptop to LAN because my wifi didn't reach the room i was in and i discovered that i could get to the raspberry pi that was still on :).
anyway, long story short i litterally spend days figuring this router out and alone and with support at the end.
i finally gave up on it as my time is pressious too and i rather get one that does work.
the asus router i have now even has much more VLAN options and even a standard VLAN configuration for fiber vlan with IPTV telephony and such, i am just lucky to had the option to return it and get my asus.
if the unit you have is still under guarantee, return it !!!! tell store that is a factory defect, imo it is.
firmware or not, it still doesnt do what it should do
ps: sorry for the long story, i just hope that netgear will fix this very very fast, this issue is open for months now.
Is there DD-WRT or OpenWRT available for this model router? Might be a last resort.
