Unable to connect to some WIRED - Help with ip address issues and connectivity problems
I started with a Netgear Cable Modem CM1100 (dynamic ip). I had/have a Linksys EA7450 Wireless router with 5 ethernet ports. I recently purchased a TP-Link Deco W7200 AX3600 set.
(My Home is ethernet hard wired to Directv boxes, printers, and a Philips Hue Hub)
I originally set it up as follows: Optimum internet Cable connection to Netgear CM1100 modem (Dynamic ip), ethernet from Netgear Modem to main Deco, ethernet out of Deco to linksys router. (I disabled wi-fi and DHCP on the Linksys router.)
The issues that I have run into is that my iphone will no longer find my HP Printer (ethernet connected), My Directv boxes have no internet connection.
Using the Linksys App on my phone I can still see my router and connected devices (only wired connections). I can see all wireless connections on my Deco including ONE wired connection, which is my linksys router.
I turned DHCP back on in my Linksys router and now my directv boxes have internet again. I still cannot connect to my printer.
While I am not a complete newbie - I am new to "mesh" systems and all of the lingo.
I would appreciate any help or support
