Hi everyone,
I wonder if anyone can help?
My scenario:
Hardware used: Draytek Vigor 2860 VDSL router, TP-Link EAP115 Access points. DL-Link 24 port managed switch.
Consider two wireless access points on a 192.168.8.0 range (as an example). AP1 192.168.8.10 and AP2 192.168.8.11. If I connect successfully, as a wireless client, to AP1 I'm given an appropriate IP address from the DHCP scope from the Vigor 2860. e.g. 192.168.8.50. Both APs are connected to the same port on the 2860. My device (laptop in this scenario) can now access the internet etc and (if I have the correct username/password) http to the AP the device is connected to and administer the AP if needed.
However, what I would also like to do is while connected to AP1 is http to AP2 (which is on the same network) and administer that device. But I cannot. I cannot http or even PING it.
They use the same gateway IP (192.168.8.1) AND, crucially, neither AP has "isolate AP" ticked, before anyone mentions that
So, why can I not connect across this network to the other AP (on the same network)? Any help appreciated.
Many thanks
