Hi all. Hope someone here can help- I dont have the technical termonology so ill try explain the setup.
In th ehouse I have an Eircom broadband router with a wireless Engenius AP plugged into it. Wifi Broadband works perfect.

I have 2 printers in a separate part of house plugged into another router with another Engenius AP plugged into router. Wireless network printing works perfectly.

My problem is I have to manually switch between wireless networks if i need to print something. Is there a way of wirelessly linking these 2 Engenius devices together so i can have internet and print at the same time??

Any help appreciated

What you want is WDS or client bridge mode, if the APs support them.

There is a choice of different operation modes like access point, WDS, Bridge.

How would I set these up?
