giving access to my wifi network (192.168.1.XXX) to my wired network (192.168.0.XXX)
Hi,
I have an Archer C2 that I use as wifi access point.
Connected as following :
- VOO modem in the garage (192.168.0.1) LAN port 1 -> network switch cisco 24 ports -> different plugs of the house including a printer (ip 192.168.0.x), some desktop pc, nintendo switch, wii-U console, etc...
port 2 -> Internet port of the Archer C2 in the living room. Generates a wireless network (192.168.1.0)
The modem has DHCP from 192.168.0.100 to 199.
my problem : when I use it like this, I cannot print documents from laptops connected to the wifi because the printer is not on the same network.
solution tried : instead of pluging the C2 to the internet port, I use one of the LAN plug and on the C2 configuration web interface, set the LAN IP adress to 192.168.0.2, disable dhcp (to use only 1 the dhcp server of the main modem). Like this, my wifi items receive 192.168.0.xxx adress and I can use the printer, but in this case, internet is not very stable (a lot worst comparing with when I connect the C2 to the internet port). I lose and recover internet from time to time and I am not satisfied with this solution.
My question : when I have my wifi network on 192.168.1.xxx, is there an option on the archer C2 that allows wifi equipment to have access to my printer (192.168.0.x) ?
I am not an IT network specialist as you can understand...
Thanks in advance for your support
