okay i got two routers one is a Dlink router (my main one) and i recently just got another Dlink (secondary one which includes a printer port) i can't configure the printer to print out of the printer port of the router, according to the manual i am supposed to add the PRTMate port with the secondary routers IP, but i dunno what the ip for that router is. When i unplug the main router and use the secondary one i put in 192.168.0.1 and it still gives me the setup page for the main router. i dunno what to do, any insight would be helpful.

Totally not familiar with that setup and since you gave no model #'s ....

So here goes a stab in the dark
Umm look for a tab in Admin Settings on the main Router or some menu like that that shows whos hooked up to what IP on it.
The Secondary Router should show up, assign the printer an IP on that?
Umm just guessin' folks.

you'd need to get to the config page for the router for the print server, and change the IP it uses, or the one for the main router, don't really matter, make sure to renew the IPs of the all the client machines, so the Gateway info gets updated.

i guess it helps if i post the model duh! Primary is Dlink 614+ and secondary is Di 704p.
i checked the logs and it doesn't really say what ip and such, unless i was looking at the wrong spot.
