Model: Archer AX50   TL-WR841N  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello,
I am using AX50 as a router connected to internet and it provides wired and WiFi connections. Then I have second device WR841N connected by wire to AX50, it is connected as AP to extend the range of WiFi in remote location.

 

It works, but I have a problem that I cannot access WiFi devices connected to WR841N in my local network. I cannot ping them or use mDNS record. However, I can access devices from AX50 even in WR841N network. Devices from WR841N can connect to the network and they obtain DHCP from AX50 and I can see them in UI of AX50 as wired clients.

 

I have AP Isolation turned off on both devices.

 

Both devices are on latest firmware.

 

Can somebody help me with that ? Thank you.

Make sure you have configured the WR841N in AP mode using this guide. What you've described is WR841N configured in router mode behaviour.

  @terziyski WR841N is configured as AP and AX50 is configured as router.

Which HW version is your WR841N - that's on the device bottom sticker.

Which Case (Case 1 or Case 2) did you use to configure WR841N in AP mode from the guide mentioned above ?

This doesn't make any sense - it should work as expected since WR841N in this case (AP mode) is only a wired/wireless bridge to AX50 network subnet.

What are the LAN IP addresses of the AX50 and WR841N ? Are they in the same network subnet ?

Make sure you're with the latest FW releases for AX50 and WR841N - check that on the Global Englih support portal for both.

Post back if you have any progress or the issue persists.
