Hallo everybody

 

I have the following problem

 

I have a router where I have wired  connected 2 pc plus a printer and a deco M9 plus.

Other PCs, tablets and mobie phones are connected to the M9.

All the devices connected to the M9 do not see the network printer.

 

I have seen that the network address 192.168.0.xx of my router is totally different from the addresses created by deco M9 in the new wifi network.

 

I know if I use M9 as access point I can solve the problem losing all the advanced features of M9 .

 

But I would like to use the advanced features as Router (ei parental control) of M9 and I would like that the network printer were visible from all the devices connected by wire directly to the router and the other devices connected to M9.

 

My printer is a brother DCP-9020cdw and I use WIN 10 home

 

could you please help me to find a solution?

Hi,

When Deco works in the router mode, it has NAT feature to protect the internal devices, when the printer connected to the front router, it's an external device compare to the devices connected to the Deco and they are on the different networks, thus they can't communicate with each other. 
In this network diagram, the only way is to configure the Deco in the AP mode.

That's sad,

At the end I am switched to AP but I am losing all the features of the network of Deco 9.
