Product: Hp Officejet 6500A Plus

Hello,

 

I would like to know if it's possible to connect the same printer(officejet 6500A Plus) to two different routers?

 

I have two different routers in my house with two different ips, because the wi-fi signal of just one it's not enough to cover the all area.

 

So, what happens is that i'm only able to have the printer connected to one of them. Therefore I would like to find a way to have the same printer connected to both in order to print documents whenever I want regardless which wi-fi I am connected to.

 

Thank you so much.

 

I am looking forward for your reply,

 

Bernardo Marques

The short answer is no.  However if your printer has a front panel, you can switch to the different SSID and connect manually.

 

What might be better is to connect your other router as an extender.  That would work better, but has some config settings to take into account.
