Can NWA55AXE bridge the packets between WLAN and the uplink connection port?

I have 2 computers connected to this AP with static IP addresses, one via wireless and one with ethernet cable connection. The IP addresses of the computers and the AP are in the same segments. Both of the computers can see the AP but they can not see each other. is there any configuration to solve that? thanks!

    Hi hawk

     

    We’ve received detailed topology that NWA55AXE is standalone AP mode in your application.

    After discussion, the traffic between lan device and wireless can be seen just ping is blocked by firewall policy.

    Thank you for sharing how you use NWA55AXE for us.

     

    Regards,

    Hi @hawk

     

    From your description, we assume NWA55AXE is working in repeater mode and acts as wireless bridge to have wired computer accessing network. If we make any misunderstand please feel free to correct me.

    The root AP should also support wireless bridge and enable the function or repeater AP will not enable wireless bridge.

    Normally, the access point is a packets forwarding role and will not block traffic if no any specific setting or rules.

    Could you kindly share with us the topology and you can send information via private message if you allow us to have a look into your Org/Site.

    Thank you

     

    Regards,
