When we got a new shop, I installed the network, fed by Comcast business class. I set up the modem with an IP address of 10.90.1.x, and to hand out addresses in the same subnet. It feeds a D-link PoE switch with a static address of 10.90.1.1 and that feeds some cameras. It also feeds a non managing switch which has a couple other devices with 10.90.1.2 and 3.
Then an IT guy installed a Netgear switch and a Sonic Wall wifi. He set up the Sonic wifi to hand out addresses of 172.16.31.x and the Netgear to hand out 192.168.32.x. Since the office printer is jacked into the Netgear and addressed accordingly, and the desktops he purchased are wifi, he had to get into the settings of the Sonic wifi to allow the computers to see and print on the other network.
Now to the issue. The sonic wifi is having problems allowing some laptops and mobile devices to access the internet. The boss asked me to install another wifi. I had/have a Linksys AE6350 router and installed it, fed directly from the Comcast modem. I've got it set at 10.90.1.100 and the problem is, I don't know how to make it so that devices connected to it, can see and print to the office printer (which its option menu is password protected by the IT guy).
Any ideas on how I can make it work?
