And the HP printer has an IP address of 192.168.1.x. Do you know what "x" is? It sounds to me that you should first fix the IP address of the repeater. After that, it sounds as if you need to add a static route on your system to the 192.168.1.x subnet via the repeater. On your system, what it the output of.... ip route show -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
