I have a home network consisting of an access point (leased from my internet provider) with IP address 192.168.2.1 with wifi disabled and dhcp enabled, connected to a router using an RJ45 cable. This router at 192.168.2.103 (Operation Mode:Access Point; TP-Link) has wifi enabled and dhcp disabled, and I have a laptop (A) connected to it with wifi and I can surf the net from the laptop, which has IP address 192.168.2.108.
When I connect another laptop (B) to the network using wifi I can surf the net from it too, and it says it has IP address 192.168.2.203. However, if I try to connect from A to B, say using ping 192.168.2.203 I receive the error message “Destination Host Unreachable”.
I have the same problem with my printer, in that whenever I switch it on, my laptop cannot find it. Same with a raspberry pi too. Both connecting using wifi.
After a while, my laptop can indeed connect. Why does it take so long for my laptop to be able to connect to the other devices?
If I try and print from my phone, I have the same problem.
OS Laptop A: Ubuntu 20.04
OS Laptop B: Windows 10
Printer: HP
The printer is configured at the access point (192.168.2.1) to use a static IP address, as is the raspberry pi.
