192.168.1.254 is my AT&T Modem/Router for GigFiber, Wifi turned OFF
192.168.2.1 is my ASUS AT3200 Router, Wifi in ON
192.168.2.222 is my HP Envy 7640 connected wirelessly
192.168.2.105 is my desktop PC hardwired to the router port
192.168.3.1 is my set of 3 Linksys VELOP Home Mesh (covers front & back of the house)

All three daisy-chained (cascaded) 3.1 connected to 2.1 and 2.1 connected to 1.254.

I want to reach the printer from all 3 LANs (from/to because of scan to PC feature)
I want to reach all devices from all 3 LANs (from/to - move files, etc.)

What static routes do I need, on which router, and how do I cable the routers?

Have read every article Google got me to with no luck other than I am able to connect to the router at 1.254 from 2.1 LAN.

HELP!! Thanks, Mike

Your problem is not the static routes. You have NAT between the subnets so from the viewpoint of the networks on the wan side of the router the lan ip addresses to not actually exist.

Most your problem is the same as if you were to share things from the internet. You must port forward but that does not work well when you have have many devices that want to use the same port ranges.

This is pretty much why it is not recommended to run multiple subnets in a home environment. If you had actual routers that understand mulitple subnets you can actually route between them but there really is not much reason to do that unless you had a firewall or something you wanted to limit traffic between the subnets.
