How do I allow File and Print sharing on a Meraki Network
I have installed a 2 Meraki Indoor Gateways, one is installed as a gateway and the other as a repeater. The Gateway is connected to a Linksys router.
I'd like to share a printer attached to the Linksys router, when I browse for the computer it doesn't find it on the network. The Linksys is on the following networ 192.168.1.1, the Meraki is on 10.0.0.0, I don't understand how this would ever work with the machines on different networks.
I found a post on their suppotr site that says to allow printer sharing se the following "Prevent users from accessing your LAN swith to no", I did that and the computer is still not visible to the computer on the Meraki.
I also found a setting that says "Make wired clients part of Private Wifi Network" with no explanation of what that means or does.
Has anyone ever shared a printer across the network and if so how, be very explicit in your reply

There is no way to turn off DHCP on the Meraki Device.

Meraki creates areally strong signal to extend your wireless, but ite lack of user interface to modify it's network configuration really is a pain and causes a lot of problems when trying to use it in a consumer environment.
I finally ended up setting every other PC's on the other networks to fixed addresses and creating Host and LMhost Files.
Thanks for the help

Turn off the DHCP Server in the Meraki gateway. Set both Meraki units to static IPs (e.g. 192.168.1.40 and 192.168.1.50). Unplug the cable from the Meraki gateway's WAN port and instead plug it into one of its LAN ports. Leave the DHCP Server in the Linksys unit enabled, and its default range from 192.168.1.100 with 50 users (i.e. to 192.168.1.150) should be fine.
That will make the first Meraki act as an access point instead of a router; the second Meraki will continue as a repeater, and they should be linked to each other by MAC address, so giving them IPs in the 192.168.1.0 network should accomplish what you want.
