can't print wirelessly from Mac but can print from Windows (Nighthawk R7800)
Hello. I've recently upgraded to the Nighthawk router. So much faster than my old Comcast setup. The only issue is I cannot print from a Mac. I have no problem printing from any laptop running Windows. I have ethernet cable running from the printer to the router. I can see the printer if logged into routerlogin.net, but whenever my MacBookPro (sierra - 10.12.6) tries to connect to the printer (HP Officejet Pro 8600), I get a message "An error occurred while trying to add the printer". Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Fed by what, some kind of modem(+router)? ISP?

"see" how, exactly? Attached Devices report, or what? Can you see the Mac there, too?

What, exactly, are you doing? Are you trying to "add the printer", or "connect to" an existing "the printer"? If the printer is already installed on the Mac (left over from when the old router was used), then I'd try removing it, and adding it again (using the new router).
