I've seen this question answered elsewhere but not recently. I just switched from cable modem connected to an Apple Airport Extreme (6th gen) to FIOS (without the Apple router) and despite what the tech said, the USB ports on the Quantum router are not usable for networking (confirmed by many people on these forums). I have an inkjet printer that's old but worked fine through wifi via the Airport; I'd hate to have to get a new printer (and dump a bunch of ink cartridges). Is there a way to cobble together a wifi connection to the USB printer? I tried using a free ethernet port on the FIOS router (through adapter to USB, another adapter to connect to the printer's USB cable) but that didn't work. Can I connect the Airport Extreme to the FIOS router but disable the wifi so I get the faster FIOS wifi speed, and connect the printer back into the Airport? Thanks for any advice!
