Windows Shares Not Accessible Via Wireless / Chromecast Fob Not Accessible
Hello,
I apologize in advance if these issues are something that has been discussed or documented elsewhere and if so please do not hesitate to point me in the right direction. I did some searching prior to this post and didn't find anything directly applicable, but recognize I could have missed the solution though.
I put two Deco X68s in place a couple months back and overall they are working great. We have much better coverage and speeds with the new setup. That said, I have been running into a couple snags that I am hoping will have a quick fix:
- Windows 10 computer on wired network has shared folders that are not accessible to devices on wireless, but work fine for systems on wired network.
- All devices had access to the shares prior to implementing the Deco X68.
- Connecting wireless device, such as a laptop, to the wired network restores share access.
- Reverting to the pre-Deco network restores share access.
- The issue exists whether the computer with shares is plugged into the network router or the pass through port on the primary Deco.
- Google ChromeCast stick (screen share only, not full featured fob) cannot be 'found' on the new Deco wireless network so cannot be setup to use the wireless network.
- Using an Android phone on the same Deco wireless network to configure the ChromeCast.
- Reverting to the pre-Deco network restores access to the ChromeCast stick.
The Deco is connected to the LAN/WAN port on the ISP provided modem/router. Very little has been changed on the Decos from the default settings beyond configuring primary and guest network names and passwords. The Decos are setup in 'Wireless Router' mode and while there are multiple Decos, there is no change if I unplug one so everything connects to a single unit. I can provide greater detail about the full setup if needed, but as things worked pre-Deco and the only change is Deco for wireless access I am hoping there is a 'check out this setting' or 'this page gives details how to fix this' type of solution.
Any thoughts how to resolve these snags would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
