OK, "TheEther" that sort of did it. I can print and scan from all my devices & PC's. I can see the printer from everywhere on the network and vice-versa. I cannot connect the printer to the network using either the router, printer or any of the PC's connection links, but that doesn't really matter, as long as the dang thing works, right? Anyhow, thanks much for the help. Couldn't have done it without you!

Thanks! Got everything set up but my printer.... It's an HP Officejet 7500 and it appears the MAC address filtering is the culprit, but I can't access MAC filtering on the router to change it. Under the Advanced tab the security tab is grayed out and I can't figure out how in the hell I did that. Can you point me in the right direction to get this printer on the network? Many thanks...

The security settings are probably disabled while in AP Mode. See if your main router has MAC address filtering enabled.

Spent about 6 hours in pursuit of a solution to this.....am about to give up. Can't find anything to do with MAC address filtering on either router, and still can't connect the HP to the network. I can, however, connect it to the Verizon wireless network and it works just fine. Any other ideas?
