LAN routing on TD-W8970
Region : UnitedKingdom
Model : TL-WR1043ND
Hardware Version : V3
Firmware Version :
ISP :
Please can someone offer a pointer - I suspect I'm missing some important configuration step.
I have recently replaced a legacy router with a new TP-link one. Almost everything went smoothly, but one snag remains.
I have PC (A) connected to the TP-Link router (by Ethernet) and it communicates fine with the Internet (over the WAN interface).
I have another device (B), also connected by Ethernet - and it also communicates fine with the internet (over the WAN interface).
I found the MAC address for B in "DHCP Server/Clients List" - and reserved the allocated IP address (192.168.0.2 - as I've configured the router as 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0 - just like my old router.) I also "Bound" the MAC and IP address (though I'm unclear about why this should be necessary once I've reserved the IP address for DHCP.)
When I try to connect to services on 192.168.0.2, which "just worked" with my old router, I get the error message: "Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host".
What additional configuration do I need to make to allow one Ethernet connected device to open TCP connections to another Ethernet connected device?
