I have a home business and previous (to buying the D7800) could connect a toshiba copier via Ethernet to a WN3500RP extender, then connect wirelessly to a DG834N Modem/Router to provide wireless printing and scan-to-email functionality to any PC in the office.
Since replacing the DG834N with the D7800, i no longer have a connection to the toshiba for wireless printing and have no scan-to-email function. I also cannot achieve this with an LAN connection from the D7800 direct to the Toshiba.
If i go back to the DG834N all functionality returns perfectly.
Couple of things that may or may not matter:
- I do know there is a USB Readyshare option but dont believe that will support the scan-to-email function on the toshiba copier.
- Signal strength is high at the extender so not an issue and other devices connect perfectly to it
- I have upgraded to the D7800 to better serve the number of connections (sometimes >10), improve dropouts, improve signal strength issues and to be ready for NBN next month.
- I did have a couple of Ethernet-over-power units to try and sort connection issues but experienced frequent dropouts (with both Modem/Routers) so disconnected them (not sure of issues were related to the above)
- The home is in a cul-der-sac and we have sometimes noticed random interference with wireless devices (funny enough a wireless skateboard controller that kept dropping connection only in our street....scary????)
Any thoughts would be great???
