CAX80 setup question
I am running a CAX80. My network has an Ethernet wired printer that I would like to make accessible to computers on my desk network. I can check the box that allows guest machines to see devices on ...
You want computers on the "desk" network be able to use the printer? Do you mean Guest network or LAN private network?
The printer would have to be placed in the Guest Network to have those devices have access.
Some routers have an option to allow guest network access to the LAN side. IF this isnt' seen on the CAX80 then this isn't supported.

That should have been "Guest", not "Desk". I want to grant guests access to my private LAN printer without providing visibility of my entire private LAN. This router lacks a specific ability to configure exceptions to guest rules. The question was whether there was some way to configure that exception with port forwarding or triggering.
In the meantime I'll try thr printer on the USB port and see who has visibility.
