I have a setup question for the community.  What I'm trying to end up with is a MESH network for two SAR communication trucks that the wired and wireless devices on the network are on the same IP network so I can print to either trucks printers.

Currently I setup a MESH node and linked a standard Linksys AP in each truck but this setup would require additional manual routing for them to work.

Please let me know if there is a solution to my needs.

Thank you,

Ryan Kelley

If you hook the printers via wired ethernet to the mesh node, you can make them available to devices on other mesh nodes. 

Does that do what you need?

The extra non-mesh wireless router will let you connect laptops and such to the mesh, but it's going to be a lot harder to make those devices available to devices on the mesh.

I'm not part of the development team, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm also easily confused.

Yeah, We need to be able to hook up a lot of wireless laptops and other devices to the system and then print to either trucks printer. At least that is the goal.
