Airprint printer not reachable fromv EX6400 extender network
Hi there
I have a wifi network with a D7000 modem/router and a EX6400 extender, with a
HP Officejet 5740 printer connected via ethernet cable to the D7000 and a number of Apple devices (iPhones, iPad) connected via wifi.
If an iPhone is connected to the router wifi I am able to print via Apple Airprint, but when it's connected to repeater wifi (SSID ..._EXT), the same printer appears as unavailable.
I read on other posts that Apple Airprint services, like others (audio video streaming , IPTV), use IP multicast (or mDNS or Bonjour) packets, which seem to be not re-transmitted by the extender.
Any ideas?

Hi etoracca,
Did you checked for firmware upgrade on EX6400 if any?
