Sounds like a config issue.

Since I don't see which router and no mention of "router as a wap" I'll just note a problem and wait for you to reveal how you dealt with it.

802.11n has one non-overlapping channel in 40 MHz OFDM. Did you deploy, configure to avoid this?

It's a Digisoul router (DG-HR1400) which is connected in AP Mode...I ve tried IP filtering as well as MAC filtering bt it didnt work...frequency is set to 20/40 Mhz.

So that would not solve the channel issue.

Now what about 802.11g?

The company claims to offer support. Since I can't know all your settings and can't tell you exactly every setting you should call them for more ideas what's up.

There is one thing. If you are using the WAN port on these other routers, it's most likely setup wrong. Who did this to you or your company? Is it their first time?
