Connection to Access Point Administration Timed Out?

I have 3 interfaces:

External [Public IP]: connected to DSL Modem
Internal [192.168.1.254/24]: connected to local switch
Guests [192.168.2.254/24]: connected to an Access Point (192.168.2.2/24)

I created 2 Firewall rules (Web Filter and IPS are disabled):
Internal -> Any -> Any.
Guests -> Any -> Internet IPv4, IPv6

And 2 Masquerading rules:
Internal (network) -> External Interface
Guests (network) -> External Interface

The problem is that I cannot access the Access Point (192.168.2.2) from a computer on the Internal network (eg. 192.168.1.121), when I try to access http://192.168.2.2/ or telnet 192.168.2.2 I got connection timed out while HTTP and telnet work if I connect the Access Point directly to a computer (eg. 192.168.2.10).

Also the connection has timed out when try to access http://192.168.2.254:4501/

What's going wrong?

I'm not that familiar with investigating UTM logs but when I go to
Logging & Reporting > View Log File > Today's Log Files > Firewall > View
and search "192.168.2.2" no results found!

I forget to mention that I have to masquerading rules:
Internal (Network) -> External (Interface)
Guests (Network) -> External (Interface)

If this was pinging and you have it enabled on the 'ICMP' tab of 'Firewall', it sounds like a routing issue. See #3 and #3.1 in Rulz.

I respected Rule #3 and #3.1 but no access!

Which service routes packets between networks: Firewall rules or Masquerading?

Does the accesspoint have the UTM (192.168.2.254) set as default gateway?

Should I add a Masquerading rule from Internal (Network) to Guests Interface?

This might help but doesn't solve the root cause.

What model is the access point? Does it have some kind of security feature, that only allows connections from local network?
