Looking at this:
http://pmod1b8a3.pic8.websiteonline.cn/upload/WR09QuickInstallationGuide.pdf
It looks like it should support the mode you want. Try using it as an
access point. Can you follow their guide? Get back to us with how far
you can manage to get.
Oh yes it supports the mod that I want, except that I am failing to
connect to the printer probably because of IP routing issues. I was in
fact expecting the LAN port to connect to the same subnet as if it was a
Wifi connection to the repeater. Apparently it doesn't work this way.
AP mode cannot work as I would need to lay a cable between my router and
the AP: then I'm better off setting up the cable directly to the
printer... which I cannot do.
So my question is how can I connect from 192.168.0.x subnet to
192.168.1.x subnet (or specific printer IP) knowing this connection
doesn't go through my router/firewall (which is on 192.168.0.1).
The repeater IP is currently dynamic (I can probably set it as fixed)
and falls randomly between 100 to 190, which would be the gateway to
access the printer. And that's where my routing knowledge tells me there
is a problem.
Thank you.
