WIFI local network connectivity issues
I have a WAC 124 installed in router mode, connected to a Netgear cable modem. Installation went smoothly, and access to the internet works well for all WIFI connected devices. The problem I have is I can't connect to an HP OfficeJet printer that is on the same WIFI network. In trying to troubleshoot, I find that from laptops on the WIFI network, I can ping the laptop local interface and I can ping the router's IP address, but I can't ping any other WIFI connected devices. I feel I must be missing something simple here!

Reads like the SSID is configured with Wireless Isolation enabled.
Check https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/WAC124/WAC124_UM_NEW_EN.pdf p.67 "Manage client isolation for a single WiFi
network" FMIYes!! That was it - client isolation was turned on by default on Wireless Network 2, which was the one I was using. Thank you so much for the tip!
