  • 1.  Why does my WiFi Bridge 501 not forward traffic towards connected devices without MAC Cloning?

    Posted May 26, 2020 02:35 AM

    Im incredibly frustrated - i got the WiFi Bridge 501 because i needed to connect two printers to a wireless network, thinking it would be self explanatory and trivial with the documentation. I got it all set up and connected to the wifi, and i can ping from behind the bridge to servers connected to the network upstream - but not back? DHCP also fails as it cannot respond back to the clients.

     

    Currently i connect a HPE OfficeConnect 1820 to the Bridge and the printers to that switch. When i connect only one printer directly and enable MAC Cloning, both pinging and DHCP works. Can someone explain to me how i can use "up to 15 connected devices" as stated on the product page?
