Hi michaelkenward NamelessPerson ,
It requires Internet Connection to properly work with "NETGEAR USB Control Centre", I have used a repeater and connected it to my NETGEAR and it worked well and still do!

And that printer is?
And the firmware on the R6300V2?
Hi , michaelkenward
My printer is Canon PIXMA E410
and the firmware of the router is : V1.0.4.52_10.0.93
Canon printers rarely cause serious problems, but their network utility leaves a lot to be desired.
You have installed the printer drivers on all the machines you plan to use through the router?
You say "the printer doesn't show up in the Netgear USB Control Centre", does that mean that the printer does not work? Those Netgear utilities aren't always essential to get the printer to work.
Yes I have installed the printer drivers since I'm planning to test this currently on a single PC.
In this case I'm having a lying around NETGEAR R6300V2 router whereas I haven't connected it to my Main Gateway which means it is just a router with WiFi signals with no network(internet) connectivity.
Do you think network connectivity is essential? If so let me know.
Yes, you're right the printer doesn't show in the control centre, when I connect the printer to the router still the page remains blank even when I power cycled the printer + the router.
