It may very well be an issue. Some routers provide firewalling and isolation
between hosts on the same network. If you use a pre-configured router by your
ISP, they might have configured some isolation between the hosts. (And if all
threee routers have been from the same ISP, they should be configured the
same).
By any chance, do your Linux PCs use a wired connection? The fact that the PCs
can talk to each other, but not to the phone(s) could be caused by the router
isolating wired network ports from wireless ones.
The three routers were from different ISPs. In fact one was not provided
by an ISP but rather was an older unit that I installed DD-WRT onto and
used it to provide an inner network separate from the one talking
directly to the ISP that I connected third-party devices to (thermostat,
solar panels, roomba). It died after a few months so now I'm connecting
directly through the ISP's router/modem again.
Prior to that I had a different router/modem from a different ISP.
My laptop connects with both wireless and wired connections.
