Ok i wasn't clear about WISP mode and my first search didn't return what
I found now. So no, I am using repeater mode but maybe I should dig into
that WISP mode in fact.

yes the LAN port seems to be automatically NATed to the next subnet
available. Even though you can manually change that, should you pick the
same subnet as the repeater it then defaults back to the next available
subnet.

As I replied to Ed the printer can be either using DHCP or manually
assigned IP/mask/gateway. so I'd say it's the easy side of the equation
(or I hope since I haven't managed to reach it yet).

Thank you for the heads up I think I need to dig into that mode.

Well time for dinner down here but definitely something to do after ;-)

Thanks a lot.
