Hello,

I have a Wireless Bridge setup with a wdr4300 as the Primary (192.168.0.1) and a wdr3600 as the secondary router (192.168.0.2).
I've connected a network printer to the LAN port of the secondary router with the IP 192.168.0.155

If I connect my PC or any device to the Primary router, I can print, ping and also access the Printer via the browser.
However, if I connect wirelessly or by LAN cable to the secondary router, I cannot print, ping or access the printer via the browser.

Tried setting the printer with both static and dynamic IP with the same results.

Would be grateful if someone could tell me what's causing this and how to fix it.

Thanks.

Try and go into the Primary router and set the DMZ IP as 192.168.0.2

Reboot primary and secondary once you do that, then try printing

I am not sure of how each router is setup but I have put together a picture and maybe it can help.

Make sure you choose the option
"Bridge WAN to LAN" on the setup page (for the secondary router)

Also try that DMZ setting I recommended on the primary

Thanks for your replies.

DMZ didn't help
Bridge WAN to LAN is already set on the secondary router.
The secondary router has no settings other than being set as Client Bridge.

Below is an image on how my routers are connected.
There is no cable from one router to the other, they are connected through wifi.

Anything else I can try?

I think it's due to the way you are configured and the way
the data is routing.

Since your primary gateway is the 192.168.0.1, you'd need to have
your printer setup on the primary - not the bridge router.

Try searching more on OpenWRT and routing.

Read that thread too.

Thanks.
