Hello,

Hello, I would like to network 7 PCs and a printer because the 7 PCs have Wi-Fi antennas at the back and the printer connects via an RJ45 socket. How do I do that?

    Hello,

    I would say: get a router (a small thing like https://www.tp-link.com/fr/home-networking/wifi-router/tl-wr841n/) and then connect the printer to it.
    And then all the PCs can access it via Wi-Fi.

      Hello,

      there's no need for an extra router to do this ...

      If he has 7 PCs, I assume he already has a router to connect them to the internet.

      At the same time, to say what to add, we would first need to know what's on site.

      Besides, all internet boxes have an ethernet port.

      So, you just need to set up the printer as a network printer on the box.

      If we knew what this printer is, we could specify the method.
