I'm losing it in my old age I guess...
I have a wired network on 192.168.254.xxx- Controlled by a Comcast SMC
I have a wireless network on 192.168.1.xxx- Controlled by a D-Link DIR-615
I have a server on the wired network that can be seen and accessed with no problem from the wireless clients.
I have several wireless printers that can be seen and used from the wireless network clients.
What I'd like to be able to do is print to the wireless printers from wired clients. Why you may ask....SPEED...lol
I know I'm missing something really stupid and just have too much going on right now to remember how to do it. I was thinking static routing in my Comcast SMC (which also serves DHCP on my LAN to wired clients) and is my router/firewall combo.
But that goes nowhere.
Is there a specific reason my wired and wireless clients are on different subnets? I inherited this, and have been out of IT for almost three years (they say the memory is the first to go...)
Is there harm in having wired and wireless clients get 192.168.254.xxx addresses? I'm thinking this was likely done for security purposes. But we are such a small office now (5 of us FT) that I'm thinking I'll just give the Wireless and wired clients the same subnet to eliminate problems....but if I'm missing something simple...
Thanks for the help!
