NETWORK PRINTING with 2 Netgear Routers
Hi all -
I have wired ethernet throughout my house, along 2 Netgear Routers for Wifi ... Upstairs & Downstairs, setup with 2 Network Names (Netwk-up and Netwk-down).
I can connect wirelessly to my network thru either Router/WiFI ... whichever signal is stronger/closer, and I can access everything on my network them EXACTLY same (thru Netwk-up or Netwk-down) EXCEPT THE NETWORK PRINTERS !!
In order to print to my Upstairs Printer, I MUST be on WiFi named Netwk-up, and likewise, in order to print to the printer downstairs, I need to switch to WiFi Netwk-down.
NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT I CAN SETUP THE ROUTERS DIFFERENTLY TO USE 1 NETWK NAME!! BUT what I don't understand is with the setup I have, WHY the Network Printers seem to be isolated to their 1 Netwk name where they were originally setup on.
Hope this makes sense ... Does anybody have a solution for this?

Routers
A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
