Why does a smartphone not ping a computer on the local network, although it works the other way around?

I am learning to develop web applications and for this it is convenient to run a web server to which other devices on the local network can connect. I use a computer on which the server is running, and a smartphone on the same Wi-Fi network is used as a third-party client.

On the MTS router, this worked out of the box, but for some reason it fails on the Keenetic router, no matter how much I tried to configure.

Whether here advised to look devices respond. Initially, I checked from a computer - everything works, then I decided to check it from a smartphone. To do this, I downloaded the application and for testing checked ping to myself and to the address at which I connect to the admin panel. These addresses work, but for some reason the computer's address doesn't, it doesn't respond.

A significant percentage of WiFi-APs use isolated wireless mode by default - i.e. the wireless client is only allowed traffic to the WAN interface. To a wired LAN segment or to another wireless client - traffic is blocked.

who set up the computer? :))
icmp-response allowed, ping enabled?
on kinetics, ping to a local wired network can also be closed

We summarize.
Disable the firewall on the PC
Disable the isolate client function in the settings or the kinetics local network or in the kinetics wifi settings, I don’t remember where they are exactly
