Printing through a Wifi repeater on a LAN printer using CUPS

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

This might be a little bit out of topic on this list but I am getting
out of options. So here we go and thank you for your patience:
I have a few Fedora clients on one subnet, a firewall and the Internet
on one side. Then in a different room, far away from my router I have a
HP printer with a RJ-45 connector.

I then bought an inexpensive Wi-Fi Repeater/Router with 2 Ethernet ports
(I guess 1 WAN, 1 LAN), thinking I could connect a cable from the LAN
port and to the Wifi using that device allowing me to share that printer
over my network.

I've setup that device as a repeater and the wifi part works. However it
seems the LAN interface can only be setup as a different subnet. Let's
say my network is 192.168.0.x then the LAN interface IP is automatically
set by the device firmware as 192.168.1.x (netmasks are all at
255.255.255.0) .  The repeater IP is currently given by the DHCP server
running on my router and on 192.168.0.x.  Currently I can't see the
printer from my computer.
I could also set up the device as a router (I however assume I'd need a
cable from the WAN port to my router), an AP (would need a cable from my
router to the device - so no) or an WISP (not what I need neither) but
it doesn't seem to fit.

I've already spent 2 days on this and starting to lose my hair... so do
you guys have any suggestion or done this before?

Looking forward to reading from you.

Thank you.

Fred
