| ZyXEL Prestige 660HW-T1 LAN problem
I posted in networking about an issue I have with three pc's, two wireless and one wired in a peer to peer network which was working fine before I upgraded to this router. After trying everything in the networking book with XP, I think it must be a wireless isolation problem. The two wireless can see each other and share, the wired is on its own network. All can connect to the internet. Trouble is, I can't find any setting on this !#@*&£*?!! router to change the setting. The manual that they have listed on the Zyxel site is for the old firmware! This one came with a newer version. Even the CD provided has the old version. Thanks very much Zyxel. I have logged a report with them but I am posting here to ask if anyone has this and can lead me in the right direction. I've never had this problem with this model before until they changed the firmware. Someone in the Microsoft newsgroups suggested it might be this problem as the LAN isn't set to share by default any more on a lot of new routers. Help anyone? |

| So basically what you are saying is that your wired pc can not communicate with your wireless pc's?
How do you verify this, network neighborhood or with ping etc?
Does all the PC's get their IP address from the router?
Are all the PC's on the same subnet?

| Hi,
Verified with all of the above. Can't ping, map with netbios, IP address, no netview or netstat. They all have same workgroup, IP range, Subnet mask, all show up on IP table of clients in router. All permissions set, all shares in place. The network was working fine until I switched the router. I've tried static addresses and DHCP addresses from the router. So wired is in its own little world, wireless have joined together in their gang and can see each other. Just can't find a setting in the router firmware that would be causing the two to be isolated. Even tried arping them to each other! So, if you know this router, any suggestions? |
