I've had an Airport Extreme base station for some time now that's connected to the internet through my Cable Modem.
Also connected to the Airport is a wired ethernet switch that in turn is wired to 3 computers giving them access to the internet. My printer is only connected wirelessly to the Airport but all wired computers have no problem printing on it.
I just replaced the wired ethernet switch with a wired router instead with the lead from the Airport going into the router's Internet (WAN) port, and with the 3 computers connected to the other ports on the router (#1,2,3).
All computers are working fine as far as being connected to the internet is concerned, but they are no longer getting through to the printer.
How can I correct this, or do I need to go back to using a switch instead of the router.
The literature seems to say it's okay to connect the Airport (I know it's already a wireless router) to yet another router, or to a switch or computer, but in the router case I'm not getting through to the printer as I did when using the ethernet switch.
Thanks for your help!
