Hi,
I've been pulling my hair out over the following:
I have a linksys EA3500 router set up with 2.4 and 5ghz wifi. Connected by ethernet is an Airport Express which I use to extend the range of the wifi and serve as Airplay device. It's set up as 'create wireless network' with the same SSID as the EA3500 and it's set to bridge mode.
I've got a mixed bag of devices on the network including ipads, android phones, a MBP and a windows laptop.
All the devices connect to the internet fine when connected to the Airport Express, but for some reason my MBP, which is connected wirelessly directly to the EA3500 (either 2.4 or 5ghz, does't matter) , can't see devices connected to the Airport Express and vice versa (this happens most of the time, but not always). The router is able to ping both MBP and AE connected devices. Sometimes an android phone will also not ping an AE connect device when it's directly on the router. I've been reading the internet for days, but I cannot find a solution.
Is there anyone here who might be able to tell me what's going on?
Thanks in advance,
Willem
