Wireless Devices Do Not See Wired Printer or Other Wired Devices - Wireless Isolation is Disabled

NETGEAR 2200v4 - My wireless devices (i.e. laptops) do not see wired devices (i.e. wired printer) on my network. I have disabled wireless isolation in all settings. Note, after I reboot the router any print jobs in the print queue of the wireless laptop are printed - suggesting the networks are communicating for a moment. After reboot, the laptop can not connect to or ping the printer or any other device on the wired network.

 

To cover all other potential questions - I am able to ping/print from wired devices including when said laptop is connected to my other wireless wireless router upstairs and that is connected (wired) via switch to the NETGEAR2200v4 so it sees the laptop as a wired device, 

 

On the latest firmware - V1.0.0.110_1.0.110 - looked everywhere yet none of the solutions offerred up work.

   The letters in a Netgear model number are significant.

   No, that only _raises_ other (actual) questions.

   Actual "ping commands with their actual output might be more useful
than your summary of their results.  Copy+paste is your friend.

   Whoa.  What is this (mystery) "my other wireless wireless router
upstairs", and how, exactly, is it connected/configured?

   "switch"?

 

   If a device has different types of Ethernet ports, then "connected to
device" is not enough detail.

 

> [...] so it sees the laptop as a wired device,

 

   "it"?  "sees"?

 

   What are the IP addresses of all these devices (in their various
locations)?


   If you have two different routers, with two different LAN
segments/subnets, then communication problems between those
segments/subnets might be expected.

 

   Is one of these routers configured as a wireless access point?
(Details?)

 

   What/where is your ISP connection?  DSL to the DGN2200v4, or
some other thing?

Only selection choice from the forum drop down.  See above for hardware and firmware. DGN2200v4 is connected to my ISP

See ping results below - for reference here are the different devices

Wired: 192.168.0.1 (DGN2200v4), 192.168.0.112 (printer), 192.168.0.3 (wireless access point), 192.168.0.107 (desktop); Wireless: 192.168.0.101 (laptop1), 192.168.0.109 (laptop 2).

 

See attached PDF document with the ping results - due to limitation fo 20000 characters was not able to include it in the body of the post.

AtomicPlus: DGN2200v4 LAN ethernet port and the upstairs wireless access point LAN ethernet port are connected to the switch (NETGEAR Prosafe FS-116 switch) and are in the same network IP range - 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.3 respectively.

   "switch"?

AtomicPlus: The DGN2200v4 has wireless access enabled and the other router is setup as a wireless access point only, same network space.

 What/where is your ISP connection?  DSL to the DGN2200v4, or
some other thing?

AtomicPlus: ISP/DSL connected to DGN2200v4

   Ok.  So, one router and one WAP?  What _is_ "the upstairs wireless
access point"?

 

   If your (mystery) "the upstairs wireless access point" (not a router)
is working properly, then I may have no wisdom.  Your second "router" is
what caught my attention originally, but it's apparently not a router.

 

   In any case, I'd try eliminating that (mystery) WAP, and see if
things improve.  Blame assignment is job one, I always say.

Removed other router/access point running only the DGN2200v4;  the printer on the LAN port of the DGN2200v4. Reboot, tested still same behavior = wireless devices unable to reach wired devices (except for the DGN2200) and wired devices unable to reach the wireless devices.
