Wireless can't ping wireless (SOLVED)

[Jim Lewis]

  For those following this thread I solved the problem by getting a new
router. Here's a quick recap:

  - I found I couldn't ping a wireless device from another wireless device.

  - I could not ping a wireless device from a wired device unless I pinged
the wired device from the wireless device first (try saying that 3 times
fast).

  - I then started noticing other strange things, a wireless device that
could ping a wired device a few moments ago could not now do it.

  - Eventually all of my wireless stuff decided they didn't want to see my
printer anymore.

  I was originally using a LinkSys E3000 which I have had for many years.
I could have attempted to upgrade the firmware but chose not to do it.

  I bought a Netgear R6200 (AC1200) Dual Band Gigabit router. So far it
has solved all of the above problems. It seems to be a bit faster than
the old router as well.

  So, thanks to all who helped me with this. I will try to return the
favor someday.
