[Internet] Giga Hub Local Wi-Fi Home Network Glitch

Individual computer can connect to Bell Giga Hub Gateway then access to Internet. Any computer on Wi-Fi also can communicate to computers on Giga Hub Ethernet. However Computers on Bell Giga Hub Local Wi-Fi Home Network can not communicate each other. Using Windows Command "ARP -a" , MAC Addresses of other computers on Wi-Fi are not listed. So Bell Giga Hub Wi-Fi must have restricted sending MAC addresses to other computers during ARP request, thus it can not work on address resolutions . This is the bug in Bell Giga Hub.

This is the bug in Bell Giga Hub.

APs and wireless routers frequently have an option to isolate wireless clients so they cannot communicate with each other. I personally disable anything like that. Can't comment as to whether this is intentional or a bug.

You said Wi-Fi can communicate to ethernet. Then said Bell Giga Hub Local Wi-Fi Home Network cannot.

What is Bell Giga Hub Local Wi-Fi Home Network?

If you are references the Guest wifi you can enable then this is not a bug but by design.

It seems like it is a bug. I found a similar discussion: »www.reddit.com/r/bell/co ··· _on_the/
Someone mentioned that turning off the 6 GHz band resolves it. I am surprised that this hasn't been fixed yet. That link link if from last year. What's your firmware version?

Flashed into my Giga Hub currently, The Firmware version: 1.19.6

Some new customers have Firmware version: 2.11, which may fix the bug.
