Printer on ethernet port but not on main wifi network

a week ago - last edited Tuesday

Tags: #Network Connectivity

Model: TL-WA850RE

Hardware Version: V7

Firmware Version: 1.0.1 build 201029 el.35823n

My printer cannot be found by all the devices on my wifi network.

The TL range extender is connected to my wifi network and is shown in the Tether App as working well.

The printer is connected by a short Ethernet cable to the TL range extender.

The TL range extender has created a new wifi SSID which is not the same as my wifi network SSID.

How do I get my devices to see the printer?

My main wifi is a Deco mesh system.

As a start update your RE firmware to the latest version TL-WA850RE(EU)_V7_1.0.13 Build 231115 from here.

This could probably resolve your issue, since this FW release fixes some problems with its wireless connection.

Hi,

How are your devices trying to "find" the printer?

If automatic detection does not work, then add the printer by entering its IP address.
