Asus RT-AC68U Merlin firmware cant ping other machines on LAN

[Coach McGuirk]

Hi,

I recently got an ASUS RT-AC68U. It was the T-Mobile branded version, I went through some steps and got it on stock firmware (then updated that to the latest). Everything worked fine so I upgraded to Merlins latest firmware for more features.

The problem i'm having is I cant ping/RDP to my other networked machines. For example I have one hooked up to my TV that I copy movies to and cant access the share I setup or ping the machine. I can connect to this machine over TeamViewer, it's connected and working. Everything can ping the router but not each other (tried hostname and IP). I am able to ping my wireless security cameras and connect to them like normal through a browser.

Here is my sysinfo page. I noticed that maybe my Bootloader might be older? Not sure. I haven't really changed any default settings other than opening a couple ports for my cameras.

Router
Model RT-AC68U
Firmware Version 380.63_2
Firmware Build Fri Nov 11 21:42:31 UTC 2016 merlin@4b03404
Bootloader (CFE) 1.0.2.0
Driver version wl0: Jul 6 2016 20:27:36 version 6.37.14.126 (r561982)

I havent noticed any other issues. I've been working from home the past few days without any issues and streamed lots of stuff. I did notice a bunch of random failed login attempts from other IPs in the log so I just disabled SSH access over WAN

hmm reset to default and no change

Okay It had to do with the Firewalls on my PCs.

My TV PC had rejoined the network as a "Public" network. I changed it to home and can now ping it from my main PC.

The TV computer can ping back by IP, but not hostname still..
