IP addresses are all in the 192.168.0.x range, for example 192.168.0.123 dell, 192.168.0.143 chromebook. It is a Dlink commercial router from Best Buy so not many user controls but I don't see anything that should be blocking wifi traffic. | |

(1) Are all computers connected to the router by wifi? (2) What are the IP addresses of Mac & LInux? (3) Does the router have any kind of isolation settings? (Add to your comment @harrymc for me to be notified.)

| Jun 24, 2023 at 4:27 | comment | added | venatorgh | Basic home network. Dlink router, 192.168.0.x ip addresses, 255.255.255.0 subnet assigned by DHCP. A Dell Windows 10 PC using a Wifi usb adapter. A Mac Mini running 10.15 and a Chromebook can't ping the Dell. If I connect the Dell wired to the router there is no problem. | |
