Here's the situation: I recently bought an AC3200 to replace one of my AC66U's that I was using as my router. I'd been using a second AC66U as a Repeater in a downstairs portion of my home to connect various wireless devices and other wired media devices (HTPC, Denon Receiver, Large Screen TV for streaming media, etc.). Worked great.
Since I now had an extra AC66U, I decided to put the original Repeater into Media Bridge Mode, and I relocated my other AC66U (the one I'd been using as a router), and turned that into a Repeater but located in a more distant area of the downstairs.
Here's the problem: I am able to access the Repeater's GUI in the same way I'd always done, i.e., just type in the Repeater's IP address in any LAN-connected device's browser, type in the Repeater's name and password, and the GUI would is accessible. So no issues with the Repeater.
The problem is with the Bridge: I seem to be unable to access the GUI of the Media Bridge on any devices other than those that are actually connected via one of the Bridge's LAN ports. For example, I can access the Bridge from a browser on the HTPC that is connected to one of the Bridge's LAN ports without any difficulty.
But I cannot access the Bridge's GUI from any other computer or browser-enabled device connected either to the AC3200 router or the downstairs Repeater.
In other words, the Bridge's GUI is only accessible from devices that are connected to the Bridge itself.
I'd like to be able to access the Bridge's GUI from other computers on the LAN (for example from either my desktop upstairs, or from one of my several laptops upstairs that I wirelessly connect to the AC3200) so I can monitor the Bridge's performance.
Any help would be appreciated.
