I assume you are using WISP mode.
Ok i wasn't clear about
WISP mode and my first search didn't return what
I found now. So no, I am using repeater mode but maybe I should dig into
that WISP mode in fact.
The above document is short on
detail, but mentions "routing", so may offer a bridge configuration that
actually works. It sounds like the lan port is getting NATed
addresses.
yes the LAN port seems to be automatically NATed to the next subnet
available. Even though you can manually change that, should you pick the
same subnet as the repeater it then defaults back to the next available
subnet.
It isn't clear if you know the IP assigned to the printer. Your
printer should
be able to generate a status page that shows the IP assigned by the
router.
Some models with displays can show the IP.
As I replied to Ed the printer can be
either using DHCP or manually
assigned IP/mask/gateway. so I'd say it's the easy side of the equation
(or I hope since I haven't managed to reach it yet).
To use WISP mode you may need to configure the router to allow
specific
ports from wifi to connect to the LAN side. Unless there are more
options than
the "Quick" guide provides, you can't connect to the printer.
Thank you for the heads up I think I need to dig into that mode.
Well time for dinner down here but definitely something to do after ;-)
Thanks a lot.
