I operate a mesh network at home with devices connected directly to the router. I can reach the internet from 192.168.50.168 without issues, but I can't send or receive packets out of it. I'm unsure what caused this behavior. I tested pinging the gateway on both devices and it worked properly. It seems I only get a "timed out" message when trying to ping, not actual connectivity.

Did you turn on the port in isolation mode? That will trigger this kind of result.

The isolation mode or firewall might be preventing access, or another device's firewall could be blocking it.

The AP Isolation option in Asus appears to be disabled, and there doesn’t seem to be a specific setting for Windows Firewall. The search results might not be helping, or you have the right information.

Both devices are configured to enable Network Discovery.

They appear similar to what I see with my current network setup. Likely, the issue stems from the network discovery being disabled in the public settings. Private Public

On Windows, navigate to the Settings app (avoid Control Panel), then go to Network & Internet, tap on your network connection’s properties, and verify it’s labeled as Private. This ensures discovery tools work and your PC stays responsive to pings.
