I'm having a really weird situation. Basically, I have a Pi connected via WiFi to my AC86U. Internet works fine. I cannot, however, connect to it as a share (it's a RetroPie setup) or SSH or ping it from my main PC (wired to router).

If I try to ping the Pi from my phone (android) connected to the router via WiFi, it doesn't work.

If I try to ping the Pi from the router itself, it works fine.

Any ideas? The Pi is getting an IP via DHCP and seems to be working fine. I am using MeshAI, but the device is connecting to the main router and not one of the nodes.

EDIT:
Ok...this is really odd. Seems I'm getting Destination Host Unreachable, but if I my PC from the Pi, I can then ping/connect to the Pi for a bit before it falls back to Unreachable.

Completely freaking stumped.
