Setup Deco X20 - everything works perfect - except - can't print to Brother Wireless Printer
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I added the printer to the network (same network name and password that my netgear used - so that my 100's of devices could connect easily and all have so far.).
It successfully added. I tried re-adding the printer to my Mac - can't find the printer.
So the wifi is blocking the printer - how do I fix this?
Thanks,
Chris

Ok - seems to be working.
I logged into the browser deco client - and checked the printer's mac address against the clients - I couldn't find it. Then I checked the printer's IP address and it didn't match at all the IP addresses (subnet) of all the 17 clients we have - after a few tries reconnecting to the wifi network - the brother printer now shows up and is in the right subnet and I can print.
Weird.

Anything? Everything works - Roku, smarttvs, iphones, ipads, PC, macbook - but the wireless printer on the wifi network can't be reached by other servers.
This is basic - what is up?

I'm frustrated because the Netgear wifi router the Deco replaced has a very rich user interface that I can access and see logs etc. I'm sure there is something with the Deco but it isn't obvious. The iPhone App used to set it up seems simplistic supporting very simple operations - now I have a big issue - and there is nothing on the App that seems obviously helpful.
I shouldn't have to google a solution.
