Bridging two wireless routers to make a print server?


[link to this post]
 
I have just bought a Dell colour laser printer from Morgan and need to site it in the spare room as it is rather large and very black and ugly.

I am wondering if I can connect the printer to my Belkin wifi router via cat5 cable, then bridge the Belkin to my Netgear wifi router that I use to connect to the internet.

Thereby creating a wifi print server and saving a lot of money and hassle.

I think it could be done, but been out of IT a long time and need opinions.

Thanks,

John

If you mean wirelessly bridge them, probably not. Most domestic routers don't have that feature. There'd be no problem connecting it via LAN though, so long as you configure the DHCP correctly.
