Will WNDR4300 block remote connection between PCs on same subnet?
My home network appears to be working just fine except that I'm having problems establishing remote connections between PCs. I've introduced Glasswire (a graphical network monitor) which is not able to get the remote connection -- BUT that's not the issue. To test whether the connection can even be established between two PC, I've tried to Telnet (remember that?) between them, but cannet establish a session. This is happening with three PCs on my network.
I've examined all Windows Firewall options and any other software that might block my telnet, but can find nothing. I;ve examined all the function of the router, but cannot find anything that would block.
Is there any reason that telnet would fail to connect in a subnet controlled by the WNDR4300? Simpler commands like ping and tracent have no issues. (I've learned more than I ever wanted to know about telnet in the past frew days, but I'm willing to learn more.)
All device on this network are seen by Genie, Glasswire and anything else I use. But no two of my three PCs will connect.

I'm pretty sure I have the answer to this problem. I learned that Windows 10 does not support telnet. You can install the telnet client, but there is no longer the option to install telnet server. All my PCs are Win10, so that's why I can never establish a telnet connection.

Yes, it is enabled. I can telnet outside of my network and each computer can establish a telnet session with itself, so that's why I'm looking at the router though, frankly, I have no real reason to suspect it. But then, I have no idea why telnet isn't working within the subnet, so grasping for straws.
