Home router woes

[mikkydoos]

Hi all,

 

Got a weird one with my home network hopefully someone can shed light on

 

Virgin cable == Virgin Hub 3.0 router set to Modem Mode ---> TPLink TL-WDR4300 Wifi router

 

 

Everything can ping externally

Everything can ping the router

Everything can ping the modem

The router can ping the modem

 

Nothing can ping anything on the LAN

Router itself can't ping anything on the LAN

 

All DHCPv4- same subnet - 192.168.0.xxx

NAT is fine

Firewall is external only - or off

 

 

This might have started happening when a new Virgin modem went in but I cant be sure.

I need to remove the TPLink from the equation and test with just the Hub 3.0 - but it is awful so I'm currently thinking new router.

 

 

I've done a factory reset on all devices and re-setup thoroughly.

 

Clients are a mixture of Windows, Gentoo Linux, Android, Ubuntu -- nothing will ping from anything.

 

I'm thinking a faulty router / routing table.

 

 

Any ideas?

Keep with the Virgin Media in Modem only mode, I would, I've had countless issues even with Wired on Virgin routers and have since junked Virgin completely (for the second time) due to lousy support and gone with another ISP.

 

The virgin router should not have any impact because you should be getting the External public address presented to the TP link.

 

Is this Wired connections or WiFi. Do you have an option of client isolation on the WiFi??

 

If wired and you are on a flat vlan with no subnets I would test with a switch i.e. plug a switch into the TP Link, test ping external just to make sure it works and then test connection to the internal clients.

Both wifi and wired.

No client isolation

If you have multiple wired clients try to a switch seperate from the TP link to rule out any issues with the TP Link.
