Enabled "Access Control" and WiFi can't see wired devices.
In the process of 'hardening' my network before adding a lot of IOT devices that need controlled internet access. To limit connections to only devices I authorize I enabled "Access Control" and then ...
(sigh) My Google search for "NetGear GS726TP" has failed to get any hits. Is there another model number to search for?
HA! And that is why we never trust memory... It is a GS728TP. (I guess it is 2 better than a GS726TP)
What a bundle of features! http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/datasheet/en/GS516TP-GS728TP-GS728TPP-GS752TP.pdf
So, back to IGMP. Just for fun, is there a way to disable the IGMP snooping on the switch and see if that changes anything?
(Again, I have no idea how IGMP could possibly have any effect, but people claim that it does.)
- If you look at the previous post the GS728TP is bricked and no longer in service. Currently I have 3 desktop switches cascaded in its place. So there can be no doubt, the Orbi is not passing the traffic. Tonight I'm going to reset the router to factory defaults and also put in the replacement HP switch so I can get the rack cleaned back up.

Memory flew out the window when I saw the feature list on the switch. (The HP switch also appears to do IGMP snooping.)
I am looking for a way to replicate the problem, and not having much luck. Turned on Access Control, New Devices "Blocked", and my wireless phone pings all my wired devices just fine. My "plan" was to turn on the Orbi "debug" function, run the experiment (working and not working), then dump the LAN file into Wireshark and look at all the arp and ICMP packets. Alas, my Orbi isn't acting like your Orbi.
- The weird part is that the wireless can ping some of the wired devices. Not being able to access the printer and the NAS is a problem because those are the two things that need to be accessible. All the wireless devices can see "Desk" which is a wired Win XP desktop. As far as the desktop switches, they are what I had at the top of the parts bin: a Trendnet TEG-S80G, a NetGear GS605v3, and a GS108Ev3. The consistency of the problem is puzzling. In all the years I've been doing networking the only time I can recall such a "pick and choose" network flakiness was with 10base-T that was WAY over length and some devices were invisible to others based on distance and signal reflections. (and that was about 30 years ago) You asked about the satellite. It isn't on a wired backhaul so I just unplugged it to test. No difference. Didn't get around to resetting the router as I am messing with a new dehumidifier that I have been waiting a couple months for. (Munters MG90. Seriously efficient dehumidification!)
Is it possible to attach the printer and NAS to the "top of the stack"? i.e. the 8-port switch that the other two 8-port switches are plugged into?
Also, the Trendnet is "green" and fusses with the ethernet ports and the Netgear GS108 has our old friend "IGMP Snooping". If there is some easy way to turn that stuff off, I would dearly love to put the IGMP issue off the table.
