Hello,
I have a problem connection my printer to a TP-Link Mesh network. 

 

When I enter the Deco Network name and password into the printer it confirms a connection.

But  when I try to configure the printer in the Mac settings it doesn’t work.

 

If I choose the Telekom router directly in the mac settings and on the printer everything works.

 

One of my 3 Deco units is connected via cable to the Router. The other two are located elsewhere in the house.

 

Does anyone have an idea how I can get to the bottom of this?

 

Thanks

Nick Kennedy

@David-TP Thanks for your suggestion. I'll try and see if Access Point mode makes a difference and then get back to you.  @ToNickk 

  @David-TP It worked ! Thanks for the tip. Now I can print.

There's a small downside, however. I now see a number of unidentifiable nodes, including one that looks chinese.

And, the network is much slower than before. From the router I'm getting 150 - 200 MBit/s, but on the deco mesh network it's well under 100 MBit/s.

So, work in progress.

Cheers

Nick

  @ToNickk Very many thanks for all these tips, which I really wasn't expecting. It will take me some time to understand and work through the various suggestions you make, but I will certainly get back to you when I have, hopefully, solved the speed problem.

Best Regards

Nick
