All of these are within the network address space given the 255.255.0.0 netmask and all are reachable.

Thanks for your question. I'm no networking expert. No changes from my Netgear (R7000) default on addressing as far as I know.

The networks do have separate SSIDs (e.g. Network and Network5G).

I don't have "smart connect" enabled, which requires the SSIDs to be the same and lets the router chop and change bands between devices.

I have many devices over the two SSIDs. Whichever SSID they are connected to, they are assigned static IPs e.g. 192.168.0.X in the usual way.

Subnet mask for all of those is 225.225.225.0.

I can ping devices on the 5G network from the 2.4G network and vice versa, however I can't ping the kindle from either, and can only ssh in from the same SSID.
