 WiFi & Printers - No FM2R
My house is a little bit spread out and consequently there are three different WiFi networks to ensure that I have a signal wherever in the house I am.

For historic reasons it was easier at the time to have three separate WiFi access points than to use boosters - essentially down to the equipment in my box on a boring bank holiday when purchasing other stuff wasn't an option.

There a couple of HP Printers which have WiFi. Seems good, but its a bit of a pain because you have to ensure that you're connected to the appropriate WiFi network.

Is there any reason why I cannot or should not just switch off their WiFi and plug them into the LAN? Then a laptop would use its WiFi to access the LAN and then find the printer.

Or am I missing a simpler approach?
