Is mesh possible with multiple TP-Link AC1750s and one TP-Link 16-Port Switch (TL-SG1016DE)
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello - I'm attempting to create a single "mesh" network with all TP-Link products and my setup is outlined below. The issue is that people can't find the printer over wifi unless they are in the same room as the printer.
Note: All TP-Link wireless routers are broadcasting the same SSID with the same password.
Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you.

I believe you have the Archer A7 which has the ability to switch to AP Mode. So what you would want is to change the operation mode of Room 2 and Room 3 to Access Point Mode (Advanced > Operation Mode).
What will happen is the two routers will now act as an extension of your A7 in room 1. Also, no matter if you have a client device connected to any of the rooms, they will all be on the same network so the printer will be viewable to everyone.
When changing a router to an Access Point there are some features that are lost. Here is a article that talk about it: https://www.tp-link.com/us/support/faq/2420/
