Two devices on mesh network not detecting each other
Hey guys, kinda stumped here. I got two cheap wireless xiaomi mesh routers (AC1200) to bridge the connection gap between my pc and 3d printer, for purposes like sending files from pc to printer and monitoring the printing process.
Both my pc and printer show a strong connection to the midpoint node, however when I try to reach my printer from my pc using dedicated software it shows it is offline (it is not, I checked multiple times). This was not an issue when I had my printer situated close enough to my pc to send and monitor files without the need of mesh devices. Is there a setting I'm missing?
I used the xiaomi home app to set everything up, and looking at it on my phone it shows all devices (mobile phone, pc, printer) connected to the system. 2,4ghz is enabled, mode is dynamic ip internet connection.
Sorry if any of this doesn't make sense, I know close to nothing on home networking and a lot of terminology could fly over my head. I just hope it's a simple fix. Thank you!
