Hi everyone,

I have my PIXMA G3000 installed to a router for 2 PCs connected by RJ45 cable and I want to add a second router connected to the first one and with other 2 PCS, my question is if the printer will work without problema with all the PCs in the network configuration via wifi as the image bellow:

I'll really appreciate any help and advice

Thanks in advance

Just ensure that the second router (the one not connected to your ISP) has DHCP disabled.

And connect the routers using LAN ports, not the WAN port on the second router.

Here are a couple of reference links for you:

Again you have the option to use a switch or 2nd router. Switch is simpler but a router will provide more options now and in the future.

Generally a good idea to use the same product brand - especially with respect the routers. Doing so prevents the manufacturers from blaming each other if there is a problem.

And staying with one brand also means that...

Please consider the need for a second router: why not just an unmanaged switch?

However, that said, if all devices are on the same network you should not have any problems.

More subjectively, in my opinion, the printer would be wired and the other devices wired or wireless.

Is there some specific requirement or situation forcing the PIXMA G3000 to be wireless?

Hi, thanks for answer, well I use another router (the left one) because the other has the internet service, the 2 routers are in separate "offices" kind of with the PCs wired, and the printer is Wireless because it is plan to be shared, the printer is located at the center of the flat.
