Using Printers connected to Archer A2300
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have two printers attached to the back of my new Archer AC2300 via Ethernet cables, just as they had been attached to my WD MyNet N600. No indication of their presence can I find on the Archer screens, nor can I find any way to "add" these printers to my network, therefore every printing effort fails.
They are HP1006dn, and HP Officejet Pro 8610.
HankJeff,
So to view your DHCP client list you will want to log into your router and click on Advanced > Network> DHCP Server. Then look at DHCP client list. it looks like this:
If you do not see the Address here than you may need to check the printers to ensure their network adapter connections were reset. Most people setup a network router with a reserved or static IP address this way the network address doesn't change. Also if you have an existing network printer loaded on your PC you will need to remove it and re-add it with its new location address.
My recomendation would be to set up the printers up as DHCP devices then log into the router and (see screenshot above) Click "add" under address reservation then click on Scan and choose the printer(s). and save. This will allow you to keep the printers DHCP whlie setting their network address to stay what it current settings.
