WiFi device not seeing whole LAN

Post by tcmoore »

Device: BiPAC 8800AXL

Trying to ssh from my iPhone 6 to a Linux server on the LAN.

On the Linux server an 'arp -a' shows the iPhone but with an <incomplete> for MAC address.

Connecting the iPhone to a wireless repeater that is connected via Ethernet to the 8800 allows the iPhone to connect. However, this doesn't really solve the issue that, for some reason, the iPhone doesn't appear to be connecting properly.

I have tried both 2.4 and 5 networks, toggled client isolation on and back off (hey, you never know) but it just isn't working.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

Actually, my laptop on both 2.4 and 5 can't see the wired devices either.

Are wireless devices able to ping wired devices??

No. Wired to Wired, Wireless to Wireless.. It's like Wireless and Wired are isolated from each other.

You don't have group isolation enabled??

Nope - The problem corrected itself after everything on the network was powered down. Seems something lost track of what it was.
