Hello,
I have Linksys E1200v2 running on DD-WRT build 38253 MEGA. I flashed it about a month ago.
It's working great, I have no complaints at all.
But something I noticed today is that networking sharing is not at all working over WiFi to WiFi.(I use all Windows 10 Laptops and Computers in my office).
I connected laptops to my mobile's hotspot and network sharing (WiFi to WiFi) is working but not over my router.
Networking Sharing works if it's:
Wired Computer -> Wired Computer
Wireless Computer -> Wired Computer
Wired Computer -> Wireless Computer
Network Sharing doesn't work if it's:
Wireless Computer -> Wireless Computer
I don't know why this is happening.
I don't even remember if this is happening since the day I flashed 38253 or if the issue began a few days after I flashed.

That is called AP (Access Point) isolation.
It is a feature of ddwrt (if you unbridge a wireless interface there is a radio button to toggle it)
However it appears to be always on on some recent builds depending on Linux kernel used.
So looks like a bug.
There are threads about it, google on AP isolation, ddwrt, always on _________________ Routers:Netgear R7000, R6400v1, R6400v2, EA6900 (XvortexCFE), E2000, E1200v1, WRT54GS v1.

Thank you! I found the thread. Seems really a bug that it's always on.
Cause I did check that setting before making a thread about it just to be sure I am not at fault here and it was turned off.
