Unable to connect to other connected devices
I have a R7000 that is having routing issues with LAN traffic. Here is the connected devices list:
The problem is with the Aurora system (2.101) - it cannot connect (nor ping) any of the devices on the 2.4 network. I can ping the wired device (2.175).

My ipconfig info is:
Wireless LAN adapter Wi-Fi:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::b02d:78:a
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.101
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.2.1
So it shouldn't be a network issue - all are using the 192.168.2.x/24 network. This is the configuration that I have used for 2 years. I have restarted the router, hard reset of router and re-entered settings manually but none of this works.
Suggestions on how to troubleshoot this issue? I really need to connect to the \\brixserver from the Aurora system.
I really wish I knew what I did to get it to work. I have flushed dns, disable/enabled wireless adapters, full hard reset on the router. I changed the DNS server from being 192.168.2.1 (the router) as primary to Google's 8.8.8.8 as primary with the secondary being the local router. I wasn't able to ping the brixserver via hostname but I was able to ping the IP after about 1000 attempts. When I pinged, I browsed to the server as \\192.168.2.102\ and it came back without a problem. Weird.

It didn't let me post the info on the pings for some reason. Here they are:

Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 1, Lost = 3 (75% loss),Hi flyboynm Are you connected on the main network or using Guest network? If you're on Guest network make sure to allow "Allow guests to see each other and access my local network" is checked.
Also, try to disable for any firewalls.
What's the firmware version installed on your firmware?
Can other computers ping that Aurora OS?
