Wired <=> Wireless Client Funkiness

I noticed funky behavioral differences between clients connected via WiFi and clients connected view a hard wire (ethernet).

If the client is on Wired, I can access other wired clients. If the client is on WiFi, it does not even have a route to the other wired clients. I run a local server that is wired as well as several Raspberry Pis (wireless and wired).

To summarize what I've tested:

  • A Wireless client can connect to a wireless Raspberry Pi
  • A Wired Client can connect to a wireless Raspberry Pi
  • A Wireless client cannot connect to a wired Raspberry Pi

Setup:

Windows Desktop (also happens on macOS)

Windows 10 1803

 

Wireless Client to Wired Server:

C:\Users\nate>tracert 192.168.7.16

Tracing route to 192.168.7.16 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1  Chouji [192.168.7.96]  reports: Destination host unreachable.

Trace complete.

 

Wired Client to Wired Server:

C:\Users\nate>tracert 192.168.7.16

Tracing route to 192.168.7.16 over a maximum of 30 hops

  1    <1 ms    <1 ms    <1 ms  192.168.7.16

Trace complete.

The test for tracerts were done on the same box (A Windows machine with both Wired and Wireless available).

    Are you connected to the guest WiFi network accidentally? Because that would cause this behavior.

      cMoo92 Already done. I emailed support before posting here. This was more in the off chance someone else has seen this before ;)

    I realize this is an old thread, but I am having this exact problem today. Has the OP / anyone found a resolution here?

    I also have the same issue. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Anyone having any luck?
