| Apr 14, 2015 at 14:29 | comment | added | Marek | You might be right. I didn't mention it, as I didn't saw it might be related, but bug seems to be... WDS related. I had old router (also broadcom) connected via WDS to extend the range for full house on 2.4GHz. As an experiment, I turned off WDS link on dd-wrt and it fixed the problem. Seems like it's not working as it should, and it breaks other things. On some latest dd-wrt builds setting up WDS actually bricked my router, and I had to use serial console to recover. | |

| Apr 14, 2015 at 13:56 | comment | added | Marek | @Paul, you seem to get close with problem. I've run Wireshark on desktop, and tcpdump on server and router, and figured out: Desktop is sending 'who has' on 5GHz wifi. tcpdump shows those requests on router's second wlan (2.4GHz). Server never gets them. I have also found out, that connecting server to 5GHz seems to solve the problem. Server gets 'who has' and immediately replies. | |

Could you wait for the connection to time out, then ping from the pc to the printer. This should fail, but then do an arp -a from the command line and look for the printer IP. This will establish if it is a layer 2 or layer 3 issue
