Range extension and connectivity
I have a netgear range extender which connects to a nighthawk modem in the next office. How can i allow the wifi printer to be seen and operate on both the nighthawk connection and the ext connection?

AC750 is not a Netgear model number. It is a label that Netgear, and others, attach to hardware to describe wifi speeds.
Netgear makes several extenders that do AC750. For example, the EX3700 and EX6100.

That one is a bit easier to decipher, probably the MR210.
It isn't obvious to me that either of these devices supports the printer driver.
You need to connect your printer to a USB port on the extender or router. They will then try to share the printer with wifi devices connected to them.

Thanks, the extender is EX3110 so no USB port, I'll try with the printer with the router, it does have a USB and let you know.

Unfortunately, if this is the MR2100, you don't say, I see no suggestion in the manual that it supports a USB printer.
You need a device that supports ReadySHARE Printer.
Have you investigated the printer's support for wireless printing?
With my Canon printer, it is a case of running a printer utility and connecting the printer to the wifi. This puts in the network where other devices can find it.
