ER7212PC Wireless to wired access

Hey there,
I just bought the ER7212PC and I was able to setup multiple wired networks and wireless networks. But I experience a weird behaviour:
From wireless network A (assigned to VLAN 10, 192.168.10.x) I can access wireless devices from wireless network B (assigned to VLAN 20, 192.168.20.x),
but I can't access from wireless devices in network A wired devices in network B (VLAN 20, connected to port 5 with PVID 20, and DHCP assigned IP).
Real Scenario: I want to access my wired homematic controller in the IoT network (VLAN 20) from my Laptop connected in the wireless network assigned to VLAN 10.
There is a lot information about what the ER7212PC is capable and not capable of, but most of it is outdated. Therefore, I would like to ask for help to make my wired device accessible from different WiFis or confirm that this is not possible with the ER7212PC and if an additional switch would help.
Thank you!
Stefan

It magically works now. I did not change any configuration, but I disconnected each device with a problem from the wired port (like hue bridge, reolink hub, etc.) and connected temporary a Apple Laptop. The Apple Laptop was accessible as expected. Afterwards I disconnected the Apple Laptop and plugged in the original device again. Suddenly no issues anymore. Device is accessible, as expected initially. Tbh this seems like a super weird bug.

Hi @SKL50
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
You can refer to this:
What If My Windows Computer Is Not Accessible or Pingable Over the VPN/VLAN In
This is a more of a problem with your computer/device firewall settings. Not a router level issue if you have not configured any stateful ACL.

@Clive_A Thank you for your answer, but it's not Windows related. I actually don't own a windows PC.
I have the issue with synology, homematic, reolink hubs/gateways. All not pingable interestingly a wired Mac is pimegable from the other wireless network.

This provides you a lane to think about the firewall if it is the reason for the problem.
I have not had a problem with the VLAN interface for years after it was added.
If you connect the computer A and B to the router directly and disable the firewall, do they ping?
I don't know what device or OS you have, nor how to disable their ICMP firewall if there is one. You need to refer to the OS manual. But the truth is, a VLAN interface by default without ACL config, allows pings.
A cellphone can be used to test as well to prove what I write. If you want a demo, I can get you a video.

@SKL50 Is this because the port that your wired client is on (port 5 with PVID 20) is not enabled in VLAN 10 "Network A"?
I guess your Network A configuration should look something like this:

ER7212PC is weak in performance as we added a feature in the previous firmware. It might be a sync issue where the config was not applied timely.
