Also check your router subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
Did you try to set the Flex to a static IP at one point?
Why would you load 1.9? That is old.

Yes we can ping the radio on 192.168.0.35 from the PC on 192.168.0.34...

Another thing to try is have them both plugged into a separate Ethernet Switch, then the Switch to the Router.
good luck

so either connect your radio directly to you radio or connect them together with your router.

There is something wrong on your network and SSDR is using SmartLink and not the local connection like it should.
As others have said, I would log out of SmartLink first and then let's see what happens.
How are the actual radio and computer connected to your network? Wifi, Cable? If cabled what are the LAN cables plugged into?

He is using an ASUS-RTAC66UB1 router to control his local area network. The DHCP is set to assign addresses from only 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200 along with the correct subnet of 255.255.255.0 The router IP is 192.168.0.1 and all subnets are set to 255.255.255.0.
His PC has been put on a static address of 192.168.0.240. The Flex is set static to 192.168.0.250.
All the requires ports are forwarded to the PC including those for the Flex and also EchoLink. Doing a scan of the network shows all device on the proper addresses. All computers and wireless devices function correctly thru the router.
Important: The PC will not connect or even see the Flex while trying both a new Cat6 cable or a Cat6 crossover cable connected directly between the two devices.
WIFI is turned of on the computers.
If you have additional questions and answers please call me.

I would factory reset radio which should return it to DHCP and set PC to DHCP, reboot both and try again.
Reminds me of an issue I had at Eastman Kodak where IBM set the wrong mask in the router which changed the default gateway Ip.
6 hour ride for a 2 minute fix.

I moved the radio to my home and connected without error and did the upgrade without issue within minutes. When we returned the radio to Ronnie's it will only connect and run perfectly as a remote connections.
The issue seems to be in the software as it will only come up as Remote connection. We never have an option to connect with SmartSDR even with the network disconnected from the router. After the software and radio were updated it should connect without the internet, but they do not see each other on the LAN.
Please understand that I do large networks for a living and I have tripled checked this network. That is why he has new cables, switch and router. A complete new network with all new static IP addresses assigned to his computer and the Flex Radio. This static IP was put on the Flex at my home and it worked perfectly. Everything in his home works perfectly but the connection to the Flex. I even went so far as to confirm that the Spectrum modem was in bridge mode with Spectrum.
I have worked a many large complex networks for over 25 years, but this little one has me to the point that I now believe we have a software issue. Our next step will probably be a fresh reload of Windows 10 Pro.
Thanks to all for your suggestions and comments.

I have not read all the above posts, however, if you connect the radio directly to the computer and the computer NIC card is set to DHCP, the computer will see the radio. As I am sure you area aware, this will give both NIC cards (radio and computer) a 169.... address with a wide subnet mask. Then, the radio and the computer should be able to communicate locally.
We do this all the time a Ham Radio shows without issue.
Then, start SmartSDR and you should see the radio in the chooser without it being a SmartLink connection.
Let us know the results of that setup.
thanks
