Huawei B525 & Printer

For some reason I cannot see my Canon Printer on the network using this Router
My printer is registered and displaying "Wi-Fi" on the front panel
If I use an EE mini mobile router for comparison its works OK

Is there anything in the Router Setup that can be tweaked, that would make my printer appear on the network

Is there an option in the router somewhere for something along the lines of "wifi isolation"? This would allow each device to access the Internet but would stop them from seeing other devices on the network.

I am sure you are on the right track, but I have searched the CP on the Router and I cant find any reference to AP Isolation
Lots of info on this on the net, but not specifically for the B525

Can you do a diagnostic print or otherwise from the printer and check it’s IP address info.

Does it appear on the list of devices on the DHCP server on the router? You should also be able to ping the printer on that IP from another computer on the network.

Does this help at all? Or this

If the device is on the Huawei B525 network it will appear under 'Settings>Security>Device Management' if its not there I am of the opinion its not on the Huawei B525 network.

Looking at Printer Properties and then a test page it shows
http://192.168.1.153/wsd/pnpx-metadata.cgi

If I use CMD and Ping printer on my EE mini Router I get

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.153
Packets sent 4, Received 4 Lost 0
So thats looks good and I know I can print on that router

If I use CMD and Ping printer the Huawei it returns
Request Timed out
Request Timed out
Request Timed out
Request Timed out
Packets sent 4, Received 0 Lost 4 (100% lost)

Presuably this confirms the Printer is not on the Network
================================

I found this reference on a Huawei Forum
After checking the Huawei B525 datasheet, I found the Huawei B525 LTE has a DHCP server which enables users to enables and disable the DHCP server. or configure DHCP server address pools. You could do the settings by logon the WEBGUI via http://192.168.8.1. If there is nothing, it may because your router is a customized version with which the function is disabled, you could have a check with your carrier.

I will investigate the B525 CP to see what I can find
I appreciate the help given, I feel a solution is near to hand

Unless you have specifically changed the IP range used by the Huawei B525 the IP of the printer should be in the 192.168.8.x range.

Doesn’t appear that the printer is connected to the WiFi network of the Huawei.

Ensure the EE router is fully switched off. Switch off the printer completely when changing routers. After the Huawei is powered up (for a few mins) then switch the printer back on.

Check to see it’s getting an IP address. You should also be able to check its present in the DHCP server section of the Huawei.
