    Hi Shingen, 


    Thank you for confirming. A few more things:

     

    1. Make sure the printer is set to DHCP and not a static IP.

    2. Can the printer be wired to the extender? If so, give that a try and let us know the outcome.

    3. Are there any other devices connected to the extender? If so, are they experiencing any issues?
