[clue-tech] Installing new router, getting printer to work

Thank you Dave.  All of your assumptions are correct.

I have since set the new router to a "Bridge" setting.  It picks up 192.168.0.67.  If I put the printer back to a static address of 192.168.0.6 and reset the CUPS definition accordingly, it works.

I don't know if there is any benefit of having two LANs.  My printer has to plug into it due to the location of the router.  This new router is now my wireless access as well (on phone line for that matter).  Also, I want to note that the 192.168.24.1 address in the router mode is an auto definition when it is plugged into another router with 192.168.0.1, which of course I'm doing.  Perhaps I need to define something different?

So, if I wanted two LANs to work, what definitions do I have to look at?  I'm perusing the router settings and I do not yet see and NATs rules to add or work with.  If the router is in router mode, I get a routing table.  Incidentally I see now also that there is a feature for Dynamic routing "RIP: Disabled".  Perhaps this should be set to one of the options listed as "LAN & Wireless"?
