Wired to wireless adapters

The Windows 10 laptop cannot ping the IP address of the printer, but can successfully ping the IP address of the phone that's connected to the TL-WPA4220 via an Ethernet cable. I *can* reach the web management interface of the printer from a machine connected via WiFi to the router, however. The Windows 10 laptop cannot see or print to the printer even though both are served by the same TL-WPA4220. #3 TL-WPA4530, in living room (not part of the equation here)Īdapters #2 and #3 are both set to serve 2.4GHz and 5GHz WiFi with the same SSID as the router, but use different WiFi channels. #2 TL-WPA4220, in second office, connected via Ethernet to Windows 10 laptop and IP phone, and via 2.4GHz 802.11g WiFi to an HP Laserjet printer. #1 TL-PA4020, in first office, connected via Ethernet to TP-Link Archer C8 router, which serves DHCP and routes to the Internet.

The home-office network has three TP-Link Powerline adapters in total plus a TP-Link Archer C8 router.

I'm wondering if the adapter won't allow traffic between these two machines for some reason. The laptop has a physical Ethernet connection to the adapter the printer is connected via wifi. I'm having problems connecting from a Windows 10 laptop to a networked printer both of which are served by the same TP-Link TL-WPA4220 AV500 powerline adapter on my home-office network.
