DGN2200 as bridge?

[roni762583]

I have a DGN2200-64 wireless modem from my previous ISP (I no longer have internet service at the location).

I want to connect an old network Laser printer that does not have wireless capabilities (HP Laserjet 4050) to the DGN2200 via ethernet cable. Then, connect local machines (laptop) via wireless to the printer (through the DGN2200).

I have read various forums of people attempting this, but could not figure out how to set this up. I have been able to get into DGN2200 settings page via typing http://10.0.0.138 in the url bar.

If this setup is possible, please provide specific instructions.

Thank you,

-Ron

You have no Internet access at this location but you still want to run a home network?  You don't need to do anything special.  The DGN2200 should still operate without Internet access.

Thanks DarrenM, it does not seem straight forward to me.

You are correct. I just needed to set the ip on the printer to something in the range of the router. Thank you
