No connection We purchased the FS105 ethernet switch and can not get printers to communicate with it. I believe it is the ethernet wall plug. We are able to use it for internet but when we hooked up the ethernet switch and connected the printers we have no communication. I even hooked 1 of the printers directly to the plug but it does not work. Does anyone know what needs to be done to the router to get this to work with our printers?

the printer has to be connected to router via ethernet cable or if it's wireless, connected to the router subnet. e.g, if your router has IP = 192.168.1.1, then your printer should have address = 192.168.1.100.

you don't assign the address, the router does. if your printer has a menu button, scroll through the menu and search for network related settings and print them to check what IP address was assigned. Then from computer you want to print from you have to "Add Network printer" and use the IP address it has been assigned to connect over the network.
