AC1750/r6400v2 running V1.0.4.78_10.0.55. how to disable wireless isolation

My issue is the following. My laptop is on 5GHz, my new printer only connects to 2.4GHz.

 

My laptop cannot see the printer. 

 

I believe that if I disable wireless isolation, my laptop will be able to see my printer.

 

BUT, I cannot find the setting to disable wireless isolation.

 

Is this possible on my model, and if so, how do I do it?

 

Thanks,

Tom
