Dear Ed,The repeater IP is currently dynamic (I can probably set it as fixed) and falls randomly between 100 to 190, which would be the gateway to access the printer. And that's where my routing knowledge tells me there is a problem.So, your system is on the 192.168.0.x subnet and the repeater IP is as well. You can ping the IP repeater, yes? 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
Yes I can ping the repeater. In fact the firmware is a web app which I access to configure it and change its settings.
The HP printer has the option to be set using a DHCP server or manually. I set it up manually as it will be easier to "find" the printer I assumed. So yes the IP is 192.168.1.20.
ip route show gives:
default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlp4s0 proto dhcp metric 600
192.168.0.0/24 dev wlp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.134 metric 600
192.168.122.0/24 dev virbr0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.122.1 linkdown
So I'll have to add this route to any machine needing to connect to the printer right?
Thank you.
Fred
