Omada network clients can't see one another
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have a newly installed home network with the following configuration:
NetGear LM1200 cellular modem
TP-Link TL-R605 Router
TP-Link TL-SG2210MP Switch
Ports 1-4 - APs
Port 5 - Software Controller on PC
Port 8 - Up-link to Router
(Other ports empty)
4* TP-Link EAP225 APs wired to switch
Omada Software Controller running V4.4.3 on desktop wired to switch
I have used almost all of the default settings (single LAN and VLAN), isolation mode disabled, Airtime Fairness disabled on both bands
Individually, all devices function fine and have complete access to the Internet. But the client devices cannot see one another, e.g., scanner function of printer cannot see PCs to send scans to, cannot ping the router or any other client device from any connected PC (except the PC with the controller software running can ping the router, just not other devices). There are two printers on the network and they are accessible to PCs and we can print to them. I've tried to setup file sharing between PCs on the network and I don't see them either (I have done all PC based troubleshooting on the PCs themselves).
I've looked through all of the Omada and device settings and can't find anything else that pertains. My searching on the Internet and TP-Link forums has turned up nothing that pertains. Anyone out there have a clue what I can change to get this working? I appreciate all assistance.
Thanks,

Hey
If i am reading this correctly.. this is likely the issue
Guest Network will enable Isolation, basically stop devices being able to see eachother. It literally is for network where you want guest users (hotel, public wifi) etc and no-one to be able to see anyone else
Im guessing this is contrary to what you are trying to achieve. Try disabling this and see how it goes 
Thanks so much for taking a look at this. I'll start off with the topology diagram and then the assigned IPs:
From left to right and top to bottom:
Cellular modem: NetGear LM1200 - 192.168.5.1
Router: TL-R605 - 192.168.0.1
Managed Switch: TL-SG2210MP - 192.168.0.162
Port #4: TL-EAP225 AP - 192.168.0.186
Port #2: TL-EAP225 AP - 192.168.0.124
Port #5: Acer PC Windows 10 Omada Software Controller - 192.168.0.199
Port #1: TL-EAP225 AP - 192.168.0.114
Port #3: TL-EAP225 AP - 192.168.0.108

I don't know if there are more settings that I should provide, but this seems to be the main points.
The way it stands now, The PC that runs the Omada Software Controller can ping all of the hardware devices (router, switch, APs) but none of the clients. None of the clients can ping any other client or any hardware device. However, the two printers (currently turned off in the pictures) can be printed to; they just can't be pinged. My Google devices cannot be setup because my phone can't talk directly to them. File sharing between PCs does not work; they can't see each other on the network. It's got to be something simple. I'm just not seeing it.
Hope this extra info helps. Thanks in advance.
