<div dir="ltr">Hey... I figured out why the printer/scanner isn't working! The printer's ip address (192.168.0.10) is on a different subnet than the computers (192.168.1.101). Here are the directions I got for putting everything on the same subnet (below). Does anyone know of an easier way?<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_extra"> Connecting two (or more) SOHO broadband routers together</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Note: The "primary" router can be an actual router, a software gateway like Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing, or a server connection that has the capability to supply more than one IP address using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server capability. No changes are made to the primary "router" configuration.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Step #1: Configure the IP address of the secondary router(s)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"> Configure the IP address of the secondary router(s) to be in the same subnet as the primary router, but out of the range of the DHCP server in the primary router. For instance, if the primary router's DHCP server assigns IP addresses 192.168.0.2 through 192.168.0.100 to computers or devices connecting to it, assign the secondary router 192.168.0.254 as it's IP address, 192.168.0.253 as the IP address for another router, etc. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"> Note: Do this first, as you will have to reboot the computer to connect to the router again for the remaining changes. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Step #2: Disable the DHCP server in the secondary router(s).</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"> Consult the manual or user's guide for the secondary router(s) to locate the configuration area where the DHCP server can be disabled. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Step #3: Setup the wireless section</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"> If configuring a secondary wireless router as a wi-fi access point, configure the router with the wireless settings you would normally use, if this secondary router were to be the primary router; channels, encryption, etc. Otherwise, you can skip this step. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Step #4: Connect the secondary router(s) to the primary router</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"> Connect from the primary router's LAN port to one of the LAN ports on the secondary router. If there is no uplink port and neither of the routers have auto-sensing ports, use a cross-over cable. [You will not need a cross-over cable if one of the "routers" is a computer.] Leave the WAN port unconnected! </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div>:-)~MIKE~(-:</div>
