| Accessing Wired Network Printer I have a problem with my wireless devices not seeing my wired device which is a printer on the 3800 Gateway after the latest updated FW. The wireless device does not see the printers IP address. The printer is connected to a Dlink switch connected to the Gateway on a physical port. This was working prior to the latest FW update.
Anyone having this issue? |

kudos:9 | If you go to "Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers" on the wireless device and check the printer properties, what do you see?
Printer ports.

| The wireless computer doesn't even recognize the network printer. |

| Does printer have its own LCD display that can show or print its network setup, to reveal/confirm its IP address that way?
Is Dlink a wifi router once reconfigured to be a switch or WAP (a LAN port ties it to 3800 LAN port)? Are you using its wifi or 3800's or both for your wireless devices?
On 3800 webgui, home page and settings/LAN/status, should have table of all devices. If 3800's own IP is 192.168.1.254, and you're using just the 3800 subnet (Dlink not a 'router' with its own subnet) your ordinary wired and wireless devices should also be shown as 192.168.1.x. Does the printer show up there, with such an IP? |

Does the wireless computer have the printer drivers installed?

The Dlink is a switch and I tried pinging directly to the IP address assigned by the Gateway and it still not recognized by the Wireless connected Computer. The computer that is wired has NO problems getting to the network printer. |

Are there any other hardwired network devices which the wireless devices don't recognize? |

| No VPN/tunnels setup on wireless PC, no cellular NIC enabled, right? It's not on neighbor's wifi by mistake? 
Post 'ipconfig /all' (if Windows) from both wired/wireless computers for comparison?
On 3800 settings/Diag/IPutilities, verify RG itself can ping all/every device: printer and both wired/wireless computers. All three are listed with status=Active on home-page device list of 3800?
Assume you tried power-cycling among other things, the Dlink switch since the RG FW update? As far as you know, there's no MAC cloning funny business going on anywhere? |
