How to turn off AP Isolation while in bridge/repeater mode on RT-AC88U

[GJB]

I have a RT-AC88U and RT-AC68U that are in bridge/repeater mode connected to a linksys router. I have security cameras and my phone connected to the bridge on 2G and I can see they are connected and operating as expected, but I am unable to ping them. I am assuming the AP Isolation is on, but I can not see any way to disable it while in repeater mode? Do I need to set this up as a router first, disable the AP Isolation and then set it up in repeater mode? Other options/ideas? I am new to networking and this forum, so thanks for any suggestions....

Log-in to your repeater(s) via ssh and run:

 strings /dev/mtd1 | grep ap | grep isolat

Are any values non-zero?

Humm, connection refused when attempting to use Putty to login. Not sure how to do what your requesting?

You need to enable ssh in the Repeater's gui. Administration/System
You need the Repeaters IP to get to the gui.

Got in, all values are zeros

I take that to mean ap_isolation is off. I've had a similar problem pinging a repeater from my PC, but it worked from Network Tools in GUI. However, I reset the Repeater and reconfigured it, and now I can ping from the PC. I had been messing with settings on the repeater, so I figured it was something I screwed-up.

It does not give you many options for settings when setting up a repeater. I have attempted it several times and can't find a solution.
