Thanks for taking the time to reply.

 

1. You asked about he model. I was puzzled about the model name, too. When I looked at the bottom of the machine, this is how it describes the model: "EAX20 — 4-Stream AX1800 WiFi Mesh Extender" - I note that this doesn't show up in the drop down menu, so that is also confusing. I believe it is part of the Nighthawk series but I don't have the box info anymore.

 

The drop-down options are poor. But it may not help that your message is in the Powerline Networking section. (I will move it.) The EAX20 is a wifi extender.

I can see that the printer is on the wireless network with its own IP address

I am a Canon user. It has a utility that I can throw at the network to find and connect a printer. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with HP's way of doing things beyond seeing a steady flow of "my HP printer won't work" messages here.

I can add the wireless printer when the computer and printer are connected to the main router (Comtrend router/modem)

Have you tried adding the printer to the EAX20?

Do other wifi clients play nicely with the EAX20?
