Wireless clients cannot communicate if connected to different APs

eclipse79

Hello

I have some APs connected to my SG230. The Wi-Fi network is configured as "Bridge to AP lan". It happens a strange behaviour:

- If client A and client B are connected to the same access point, they can communicate each other, they are pingable.

- If client A and client B are connected to different access points, they cannot communicate, they are no ping visible.

- If client C is connected to wired connection, it can ping both client A and client B.

The issue is not dependent on AP model...

any ideas?

Thanks!

    Can you post screenshots of your Wireless Protection setup?

    Is each client connecting to the same SSID? Do you have a guest network and internal network set up or is it all just one single connection?

    Are these even Sophos APs, or third-party ones?

    Ciao,

    I bet if you look in the firewall log, you will see blocks.  Try a rule like 'Internal (Network) -> Any -> Internal (Network) : Allow'.  Fortunato?

    Hi Bob!

    No, sfortunato Slight smile

    I see no packets dropped in firewall log. Why do you think the issue could be caused by a rule? Client A and Clent be are connected to the same WiFi network, their IP addresses don't change when they are connected to different AP...

    It was a guess, but if there are no dropped packets, then, you're right, a firewall rule wouldn't be a workaround.

    What about the wireless and IPS logs?

    Cheers - Bob
