Is the Samsung ML 2525W wireless printer unable to connect using an Ethernet cable or wirelessly?
It seems I own a Samsung tablet that connects smoothly to the printer. After connecting, I received the IP address and successfully joined Syncthru. A TP Link wireless adapter displayed the connected router "node" linked to my printer (Home 3 from my daughter's Mac). When adding the printer, it recognized my 2525 and it functions properly. I’m unsure how both routers will coordinate or interfere with each other. I expect to test this in the next few days. Amazing after a long time—thank you for your assistance.
You might want to draw a basic network diagram of your home showing all devices and their physical links. Then note important details next to each device: type of device, MAC address, IP address (DHCP or static), location, etc.
As for two routers, make sure only one is set up to provide DHCP IP addresses.
For most home setups, the main router handles DHCP, while other routers should have this feature turned off, acting more like a switch.
Most manufacturers offer diagrams and guidance on these configurations, including access points and repeaters.
It’s usually simpler if the routers are from the same brand.
But it’s not strictly necessary.
Visit the manufacturer’s website and download the user guide or manuals.
