R7000 Access Questions
I'm new to this and can't find an answer for my question.
Can my laptops using wifi access a cabled printer? Or...
Can my desktops using cabled access, access a printer setup on the wifi network?
Using the R7000 printer sharing option is not an option.
Thanks for any feedback!

R7000 has wireless isolation, but only for the guest network.

If the printer is a network printer with WiFi / Ethernet support then yes to both your questions. The only router related parameter that I can think of which may cause issues is ‘Wireless Isolation’ (default is disabled), so check it’s disabled (assuming the R7000 has that feature, I can’t check right now).

Thanks for the quick responses.
The printer is a wifi/ethernet network printer but will not allow both at the same time.
Right now all devices/computers are wifi. Desktop performance is compromised by doing this; cable internet is 100Mbps, I get half this with wifi.
