I am using a FritzBox 7530 router and can’t access devices connected via wireless.
For example, I have a server and a Smart TV; both are connected via WIFI alongside other devices such as Raspberry Pi and mobile phones. I can’t reach any of them.
Only LAN-connected devices can talk to each other. However, what is confusing is that my PC can discover all other devices. But I can’t communicate with them; the same goes for my phone.
I even tried to contact AVM (Fritzbox manufacturer), but they did not know what the issue was and started telling me random stuff, such as turning the Router off and on again, even tho I explained the case with every tiny detail.
The network looks like this:
- My PC
- Server
- TV
- Raspberry PI
- Mobile Phone 1
- Mobile Phone 2
I installed Fing on my phone, and as mentioned, I saw all other devices but couldn’t ping or connect to them.
Troubleshooting steps I took:
- I connected the server and my PC to the Phone Hotspot, and it worked as it should.
- I reset the Router to the Factory setting
- I made sure that the option “Active wireless devices may communicate with each other” was on; I even turned it off and on again
- Once the “Active wireless devices may communicate with each other” option is turned off, my PC or phone can’t see the other devices in the network anymore.
- The guest Network is Off and has never been activated since the reset of the Router.
- The DHCP is on; I even tried to switch it to manual and assign the IP manually, but it did not work either.
- I tried to switch all related or may-seem-related options on and off.
My question/problem is not the first of this type but is a common issue with FritzBox routers, as mentioned in those questions:
fritzbox connection only between WLAN devices
Can’t access local devices connected to Fritz!Box
Does anyone know what the issue could be?
