hi guys,
have an asus rt-n56u:
https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Networking/RTN56U/
that I connected via cat6 on an upper floor as an access point to a Cisco DPC3825 cable router sitting downstairs:
http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/modem_DPC3825.html
to help the wifi signal strength for the better half's Galaxy Note 3 while she sits in bed. The change certainly helped! She is happy with it.
However, fixing that has created another problem....I also have a brother mfc-9010cn multifunction printer connected to the asus n56u via cat6:

Originally it was connected directly to the Cisco DPC3825 via cat6 and it functioned perfectly. Now with the access point maneuver nothing connected to the network via cable will either recognize the printer or print to it. I can print to it wirelessly via either the Galaxe Note 3 or the Dell L702X (XPS 17) laptop.
So, although she's no longer pissed with wifi coverage in bed, now she's pissed because the printer isn't working -she's a teacher and often prints at home. I have to move next Saturday and the list of things I have to do between now and then is immense... but since she's staying behind until the dust settles with the new employer, if i don't fix the printer issue before i go impressing the new boss won't be what I have to worry about if you know what i mean.
Rather than reinvent the wheel I figure I could spend hours teaching myself....or stick my feelers out there to those who are "in the know". Any suggestions on where to start guys?
Thanks,
Coho
