Windows 10: router access point conflict with epson ET4550

My computer prints wirelessly to the printer.

When I try to scan a document it says it cannot connect.

I can send a scn from my printer to the computer.


I have printed the network connection check from the printer and it sas there is a conflict.

My hub is BT hub6


I have changed the mode on the hub from 1 to 2 but this has not made any difference

Can you help

access point from company router

Why do you want to keep the same IP address? Do you need it to be the same to access company programs, and enter firewalls?

I'm not entirely sure from your description how your current router is configured. I need more details about your current network and router configuration.

If your router is configured to assign only a limited number of IP address, it will always assign your notebook the only remaining IP address. However, the router you use as an access point will initially be set to automatically assign IP address that may not be in this range. You may be able to disable DHCP to avoid having your access point assign IP addresses to devices.

Make sure the two routers have non-conflicting IP addresses that only differ in the last number; e.g. 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2.

What you want to do is possible, but you would be best off consulting your IT department, since they are most familiar with your network architecture.

 

Routers as access points with ports, weird situation??

Ok now that I got you're attention. Anyone have ever used/know if when a router's "access point mode" is enabled, do the LAN ports get disabled?

Here's why I ask, I got an Xbox and a PS2 currently in my man cave of a basement wanting to give them access to my network. With currently living in an apartment building not really allowed to drill a hole to go wired router with them. I figured if I can get a wireless router down there as an access point for ad-hoc onto my current network it would work perfectly.

My current wireless router is right above the space where I need access. Any thoughts/suggestion/ideas? Thanks in advance! *Smile

EDIT:

Found out that I may need a WDS Bridging supported router, any ideas?

 

Routers as access points with ports, weird situation??

I find using a wired access point router is best

I bought a cheaper Trendnet Wireless router from Newegg for only $19.99 and I run that via a Cat 6 cable through the wall connected to my main Belkin N+ wireless router downstairs connected to the cable modem. It fills in the gaps and even though it is only running in G mode and only has 100mbps ports it keeps my Steam downloads running fast from very long distances and very stable connections since once it gets to the router it is converted to a wired connection and it is like your main router is actually much closer to your computer and connected via a wired connection. The Trendnet connection makes the farther PCs from the main router have an absolutely lag free connection.

The great thing about running a single network cable from the main router connected to the web and the access point is that it can be done with just about any router and you don't need to pay extra for a wireless bridge which cost way more than my router used as an access point. Depending on your internet service you may not even need more than G speed anyway for your access point so good luck and have fun figuring this out.
