hi

I have a router, with the ip address of 192.168.1.1

wanting to add a wireless switch / print server to this,

what I dont get is the ip address of the wireless print server is 192.168.0.1,

the print server can have its ip address changed to for example 192.168.1.50 to be on the same range

but does it need to be,

does adding an print server have to be on a different range

do I have to tell my pc the gateway is 192.168.0.1 so it looks for the wireless print server / switch and not the router

cheers and utterly confused

I can set the printer server to 192.168.1.50, and the router stays on 192.168.1.1

when entering a static IP on my pc, do I tell it to look for the printer server/switch or tell it to look for the router.

Or does it not matter

the printer doesnt have an IP address as it is plugged into the wireless printer server via usb,

think I have that right,

its a linksys wireless print server and switch
