Cannot ping the device in same network (MR60)
Switched to this device 3 days ago and having a hardtime managing my network since then. Worst customer-care support ever even with premium support Spend Three hours on calls all-together today wit...

You'd think so but I've had issues with smart devices not working properly when not online. Should still respond to ping though.
I know the ZNID-GPON-2424A has its own integrated router.
have you tried disabling the wireless on it, leave the router portion enabled, and then putting the MR60 in access point mode?

Thats exactly what I was hoping

there
There is no wireless on the ZNID-GPON-2424A (atleast my ISP version does not have it enabled)
This mode/router configures its lan device as a bridged network.
When I tried the MR60 in access point mode I lost internet all together

there's not much information on the ZNID-GPON-2424A
What I could find shows it has its own dhcp client. So its got some integrated routing capability built into it.
Maybe it was disabled improperly (wouldn't be the first time) or comes stock disabled. Which is why AP mode didn't work. But again, it might not be implemented properly.
I don't have one to toy around with but thats worth looking into.
also, if you disconnect the mk60 from the gateway (for testing) and have you devices connected, can you ping them? (disconnect and reboot the router) Maybe not all if they're one of those sh**t coded ones that have to online to be responsive.

I tried that still no go, cannot ping the local devices

My ISP has given me no access to their device, hence I do not have any remote capability to change anythign there.
For the KICKS I plugged in a ASUS-TM_AC_1900 that was lying around to the ISP given modem/router, and that works just fine. I can ping all my devices
Maybe not all if they're one of those sh**t coded ones that have to online to be responsive.
All of my local-iot-devices are internet independant, I made them myself.

I'm not sure why you can't ping them.
They still work though?
I've got an arris mesh and and orbi mesh running right now and can ping any of my devices.
