That doesn't mean that there still isn't a conflict somewhere. I mentioned static IP, but if the address conflicts with something already assigned by DHCP, the result is the same.
What's your DHCP range?

That's not what I asked. ;-) If two devices are on the same IP address, it is likely that you wil not get a response when they are both turned on. They may both respond to the ping, but your sation may not receive the reply.
However, with one - and only one - device powered on, you *should* get a response. If the G is OFF, and you were to get a response on that address, it indicates that something *else* is listening on it. That would, therefore, point to an address conflict when the G is turned ON.
Also, try flushing your arp cache before pinging:
arp -f (OS/2; I can't recall Windows, but instead of "flush," the command "deletes all" - perhaps arp /d *)

No, SSID broadcast in the GS. The G is acting like a client, a broadscasting is irrelevant as such. Only APs broadcast (or not).

On the status page, you can see all connected devices.
This thread is moving rapidly from OT to TOT. If there's no objection, considering the hardware & firmware we're discussing, we'll continue. Otherwise, we should take this off-list.
