Hi - anyone else with this issue - or anyone who can confirm that it is just me who has it?
I just bought and installed a Linksys WRT1900AC and it all works very fine apart from one minor detail. If I have a device connected on the 2.4 Ghz wifi that device cannot ping a device connected on the 5 Ghz wifi and vice versa.
If I try from my laptop - I connect it to the 5 Ghz band and can then ping my media centre just fine. If I switch it to the 2.4 Ghz band ping times out.
It seems to be just the connection between the two bands that does not work.
I am using firmware 1.1.8.161917
I just spoke with support and they never heard about the problem. They suggested doing a hardware reset and trying to reconfigure the router. If that does not work they thought the router could be faulty and in need of a replace.
But before doing that I wanted to hear from any of you who have a WRT1900AC if this is a problem for just me?
