Good morning,
I am Scuba and I am new to this forum. Hopefully someone's out there and will be able to comment on my problem. I have the following setup:
Room A:
- cable modem ("CM")
- 802.11n router ("R1") attached to cable modem(WAN port of R1--> Port 1 of CM)
- Printer 1 (P1) attached to USB of R1
Room B:
- 802.11g router (R2) attached to CM (WAN port of R2 --> Port 2 of CM, wire by powerline)
- Printer 2 (P2) attached to USB of R2
Boundary conditions:
- Wifi signal of R1 is not strong enough for Room B, so roaming between R1 and R2 is setup and working (drop offs when moving from A to B accepted)
- all Routers must be reachable from anywhere for printing, no matter where the user's workstation is connected to.
I have setup the WAN side of the routers to a 10.x network (CM, R1 WAN side and R2 WAN side are all within the 10.x network). The LAN/Wifi network of the 2 routers is setup to 192.x. Both routers are DHCP servers, no overlap of addresses.
So far so good, roaming works just fine. But: I can't see the respective other router when connected to one router (i.e. when my device is connected to R1, I can't ping R2 and vice versa) and such printing to the "other" printer is not working, either (one is color and the other is bw laser, so I need to be able to access both from anywhere).
How would I set this up that everything works as desired? I am basically interested in the described problem, the roaming aspect (channels distribution, signal strenghts, controlled vs. "basic" roaming etc). is not in focus of this discussion.
Thanks for your answers!
