Getting a wired printer onto the wireless network

Wed Nov 24, 2021 4:27 pm

This quick setup also has a mode for such a wireless bridge?;) I have a wired printer that i need to be accessible on the wireless network.

Searched a little, but what is this access method called in mikrotic terminology?

Is this USB or rj45 printer? If is rj45 than simply get mAP and bridge wireles and ethernet port and on wirles set staton mode. If is USB you need usb printer server with wireles capability. It is so easy


https://mikrotik.com/product/RBmAP2nD USB printing is not supported on this device. USB is only for power.

Even cheaper, mAP Lite.
One less ethernet port (hence also no PoE out) but for the rest identical to mAP yet almost half the price.

Rather overkill solution ...

Mode = Station or station-pseudobridge, I would say. Only 1 device allowed on the eth-link.

I do this via Quick Set?

I only have these options:
CAP
CPE
Home AP Dual
Home Mesh
PTP Bridge AP
PTP Bridge CPE
WISP AP

Nope.
Out of the top of my head. Start with cpe and then you need to digg into the detailed settings.
Don't go back to quick set once you change stuff there.

Hmm, I've tried a few times now without luck.

I've done this quite a few times with other routers, but it seems it won't let anything through on its interface.

You imagine anything special, out of the ordinary I have to do?;)

Noone offered a guide on this?;)
