    Printers on different networks but we can still print to them

    I'll try my best. Wireless 1 doesn't have the 2.5 and 5 ghz bands separate. The printer on that is old 2.5 g. Wireless 2 is 5g only. The printer on wireless 2 is 5g capable. The Mac's are connected using 5g. Yet, they an only print on the printer on 1 which is 2.5. Doesn't make sense.

    How to isolate wired pc from rest of network.

    I have the two band router AX88u set up with a 2.4 network for all my IOT devices. Then I have the main network the 5G band. I can set up a guest network on the 5G and do this? If I don't need to keep the Tri band (Ax11000_ router then I can save the the money and return it.

    My 2.4 network drops constantly

    Well I got a new router anyway, seeing as most me was getting up there in years. Picked an asus RT-AX88u pro. I have the Merlin firmware in it. Tinkering around yo make sure I get all the settings. If I go 3 weeks without a drop I know I made the right call.

    Why is my attached drive showing an sda partition?

    I am going to try NTFS. I didn't think the mac could write to it but I read it can over a network. Thinking maybe that's what I used before.
