I have a NetGear WNDR3700 with both the 2.4GHz (bgn) and 5GHz (an) broadcasting. I'd assumed that devices connecting on either channel would work together without issues, but there are some devices (such as my iPhone 4 or HP wireless printer) that will only connect at 2.4GHz, and some that connect at 5GHz. However, it seems that they're segregated on the network, so a computer at 5GHz can't print to the printer, but the iPhone can.

This is causing issues not just with printing, but with AppleTV and so on. Is there a way to have the router let these devices all talk to each other?

The default configuration for the WNDR3700 allows precisely this, and is how it works with my one. I didn't think it was even possible to segregate them this way. Can you ping devices connected to different radios? – Paul Jan 10 at 3:40
