hello everyone,
i need urgent help with a newly acquired Fiberhome hg6245d modem.
i have several computers connected with WiFi, and a printer connected with RJ45 cable to the same modem, all settings are okay but i can't connect to the printer from any computer;
when i ping any computer's IP adress from any other compuer it pings successfully, but when i ping the printer's IP adress it is UNREACHABLE, and also if i connect a computer with an RJ45 cable and try to ping the printer's IP adress, it doesn't work too (unreachable). BUT if i plug both the printer and the computer in the same router's port using a switch then it works and pings sucessfully.
i have been trying to figure out how to make it work without having to plug everything in the same rj45 port using the switch because all of the computers i have are using wifi which the printer doesn't have and it would be a stupid solution to get new rj45 cables and plug everything in the same port.
any help would be really very appreciated.
thanks.
