@hodgesanDY - I can't believe I didn't spot this :roll: This seems to be the cause of the issue, as most of the devices will connect to the 5ghz band. I wish there was a way of combining/mirroring the 2.4/5.0 ghz settings on a Draytek router!

Thanks for your help and eagle eyes

No worries, I’m glad it’s working now.

Lots of Wifi access points do offer mirroring of the settings but for the Draytek router, there is more to take advantage of, so mirroring isn’t that desirable in this instance.

Ah - I had assumed that you had disabled the 5GHz band as it wasn't set in your VLAN settings. You know what they say about assume!

Although does that explain how you could connect to the router but nothing else?

Glad you have it working now anyway.

At the time, 2.4Ghz was assigned to VLANs and 5Ghz wasn’t, effectively creating 3 networks.

VLAN0
VLAN1
and
Non-VLAN

…each will be able to reach the router directly.
