I have a Gold and have my wired network setup as a LAG on ports 1&3.  My wireless network is setup on Port 2.  How can I allow my wireless network to access my wired network?  Example I want my laptop to access my desktop for file access.  I have tried to create rules around this but have not been successful.  Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Adam

  By default (unless you created a locked-down segment), your devices can communicate with each other. To test this, try to 'ping' one device from another device.

  I tried that with no success.   I think I setup the system wrong from the beginning.  My wired network is set to 192.168.1.1-254 and my wireless is set to 192.168.4.1.  The wireless is an EERO system that changes the wifi network to a 10.0.4.1-254 network.  The EERO is new to me as I got it from Alta Fiber with the new install.  

  If I try to put the wireless network on the Firewalla to the same IP range as the wired portion I get an error on the subnet that it shouldn't overlap with the wired network.  

  I am tempted to return the EERO and go with something more simple for the Wifi, or plug the current wifi into my router that is the 192.168.1.1-254 network.  Or i can start over on the Firewalls settings to correct the issue.  

  I would like to keep the Wifi on its own portion of Firewalla but I will try any suggestions or just keep playing around with it until I figure it out.

   

  Thanks

  Doesn't look like your eero is in bridge mode, can you double-check?

  Bridge Mode was the issue.  Thank you for your help!
