GL-AXT 1800 - trying to use a printer with this router but no success at present- what am I missing?. This is the setup:
-axt1800 tethered to iPhone - no issues
act1800 has main and guest network enabled for both frequencies (2.4,5ghz)
no issue for laptops/phones etc. to connect internet using both networks/frequency
known to work Brother printer configured & connected wirelessly to the 2.4 ghz frequency of the guest network but will not print any documents ( "printer error")
Is a wireless printer configuration a no go or does the printer need to be specifically configured via ethernet or usb interface?
Afaik you can't turn off the isolation on guest - you can only turn off client-to-client communication within the guest network, which won't help here.
So moving the printer to main is the only thing you can really do.
I was under the assumption he was on the guest network and trying to print via a client on the guest (his phone) and if that was the case the toggle should work for that scenario however best practise would be LAN for the printer as it just makes life easier.
Without going too off topic here - What's the different between "isolation on guest" vs "client-to-client communication" isn't that pretty much the same thing?
And the toggle I mention on the guest via the android app, isn't that turning on / off isolation on the guest?
Afaik you can't turn off the isolation on guest
^ I am just trying to clear up that part, does the toggle suggest you actually CAN turn off the isolation.
A big thank you to all that replied - problem is solved.
The solution was to change over to the main wifi and configure the printer to
same wifi (2.4ghz).
