Hey, I see your situation clearly. You're using a Kisslink router without internet access, and you're trying to connect your printer via LAN while avoiding interference with your Wi-Fi connection. Since you can't update the router firmware or change your internet setup directly, here are some ideas:

- Check your router settings for an offline mode or guest network option that isolates devices from the main internet.
- Adjust your Ethernet cable configuration—ensure it's set to use a different port or switch to prevent unintended internet access.
- Consider using a dedicated network adapter for the printer if possible, or disable Wi-Fi on the router temporarily for testing.
- If your router supports VLANs or separate networks, try creating a private network for the printer.

Let me know if you want step-by-step guidance on any of these options!

There seems to be a concern about the connection method. If you have a valid reason, consider this link: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/For...networking

Budget matters a lot. I had plenty left over and didn’t feel like spending money on a new cable. Just $10 now could mean the difference between having food and going hungry. (University budget)

Discuss it, I'm sure someone nearby has a matching USB cable; many outdated gadgets were used by people who no longer need them. Besides that, you can follow the instructions at the provided link.
