My Raspberry Pi4, running a standard Raspberry OS 32, can be found with its hostname on my LAN when it is connected with a cable. However, when connected only via WLAN, I cannot ping or ssh it with its hostname. Using the literal ipv4 address, it can be addressed. On my router, I have found that all devices having an ipv6 address, are discoverable from a PC. So I would like to turn on ipv6 on the WLAN interface, as it seems that the Pi is not requesting an address at the DHCP on the router. Can someone help how to do that or has an alternative solution? Thanks!

  • You have omitted ANY details from your question. What OS? How is networking configured? How are you trying to connect? What do ip a && ip r show.

    Your router may have AP isolation active. That prevents WiFi devices communicating. Disable that on the router's settings pages.

  • thanks that is a good suggestion. My router does not support AP isolation but I will search further along that line.

Update: I have replaced the router and now it is working again. Thanks @Dougie for pointing in the right direction.
