Can you print via an Apple guest network?

<article>

<p>Oscar Medellin writes in with a reasonable request. After setting up a guest network using his Apple Wi-Fi base station that was paired with using Timed Access Control to limit his kids’ access to the Internet, he found that they couldn’t print via Wi-Fi.</p>

<p>How can I configure their computers or my AirPort Extreme to print wirelessly using my Wi-Fi network while still using the Guest Network?</p>

<p>Unfortunately, this is one of the tradeoffs with guest networking (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204590). Not all companies’ Wi-Fi routers restrict printer access, but Apple only allows a kind of tunnel-to-the-Internet. Those connected to the guest network when you have Wi-Fi security enabled also can’t view each other’s network traffic, even with tools designed to sniff around.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3007574/printers/can-you-print-via-an-apple-guest-network.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
