Model : TL-WR802N / TL-WR702N

Hi

I have a (maybe) weird question:
- I have a network with internet
- This network has a DHCP in it
- Connections of printer and PC and Server are all by ethernet over a switch

Now: What happens if i connect a TL-WR702N or 802N to the network via a ethernetcable? My goal is to connect my Notebook to the WiFi (of the 802n / 702n) and print documents to my ethernet-bound printer.
Would i be somehow (what mode of the TL-WR802n / 702n??) able to "see" my printer thru Wifi, thru the 702/802 thru the Ethernet?

Is it understandable, what i want to built? Or you need a picture of sorts?

Thanks!

Edit:
OK... I may add a little ASCII-graphics to it for better understanding:

[Printer]------eth------[Switch]--------eth------[TP-Link] ))) wifi ((( [Notebook]
There are more PC's ans stuff on the switch, but not drawn...

Can the Notebook "see" the printer and if so, in what mode do i have to use the TP-link to do so?

Of course the Notebook can 'see' printer. You should only setup 702/802 in AP/Router mode.

Ah. Thank you.
I was worried, the 702/802 will build a new net with its own IP's towards the Wifi and not getting IPs from the DHCP within the ethernet-Network

If you are worrying DHCP issue you can configure the 702/802 in AP mode.
