Connecting a wifi Laptop to a wired Printer

2023-08-20 18:44:34

Tags: #Wi-Fi 6E

Model: Deco XE200

Hardware Version:

Firmware Version:

My home system goes like this:

ISP/Modem - Main Deco - Switch - Slave Decos

So everything we have is connected to the Deco either wired or by Wifi. But My printer is hardwired and and my laptop is connected by wifi so the laptop doesn't see the printer. How can I get devices that are wifi able to connect to my printer.

Thank you

@mikekorrivo

Hi, have you ever configured a static IP address on the printer before working with the old router?

It it suggested to check the current IP addresses on both the printer and laptop to see whether they are under the same IP range first.

Wait for your reply.

@David-TP no they don't match the ip range. The Ethernet up is one thing and the wifi is a different one. Not sure how to make them the same or if I can. But the ip address both come off the deco units.
