The rouer is zyxel EMG1702-T10A.

When i try to ping any devices in my wireless lan network, i get this output :

ping 192.168.1.104     

PING 192.168.1.104 (192.168.1.104) 56(84) bytes of data.

From 192.168.1.108 icmp_seq=5 Destination Host Unreachable
From 192.168.1.108 icmp_seq=6 Destination Host Unreachable

The ping only suceed when pingin itself and the router :

itself -

the router -

ping 192.168.1.1

Tested with 3 devices, 2 linux and 1 android, and got the same output. ALl of them connected to the router via wifi. All host were up.

Output of some troubleshooting :

i tried

sudo ip route add 192.168.1.104/32 via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0

and

sudo ip route add 192.168.1.104 via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0

I did try some other solutions, since its a common issue, but as none of them worked, i decided make another question about it.

I was suggested to turning on the icmp on the acl settings of the router, and  indeed it was off, but turning it on didnt changed anything. I dont know if i did i right tho. I typed the source ip address and the mask adress respectvly as : 0.0.0.0 , 0.0.0.0 . And on a second try : 192.168.1.0 , 255.255.255.0 .

I as also suggested o see if the router has an option to allows the devices to talk only with the internet, but never with eachother. But i didnt know what to look for.
