Orbi pro bridge with Ethernet switch
Hi there,
I have currently a Netgear Orbi Pro system wifi mesh SRK60B03, so 1 wifi main system Orbi Pro with 2satellites.
The orbi pro router is directly link to a 24 gigabit switch (TP-Link TL-SG1024DE Easy Smart Switch Administrable 24 Ports Gigabit ) wich is itself connected to a internet fiber modem and multiple ehternet computer/printer.
For the moment, the orbi pro is connected as router.
My question is : how could you configure the orbi pro to, when you are connected by wifi find device wich are connected by ethernet to the switch, like a printer ?
Thanks for your help,
P.

The problem is the fiber modem is a router which has created an IP subnet for devices connected to the switch, one of which is the Orbi.
The Orbi has then created another IP subnet which is invisilble to the devices connected to the fiber router.
If the Orbi is connected directly to the fiber device and the switch is connected to the Orbi, all devices will be on the same IP subnet.
