Correct.

I suppose you could also setup VLANs to allow the printer to work on both as well.

?? How did I miss this Post?? looked right past it.

Well if DD-WRT can do that, then there's your solution. the unbridged network configuration is key.

If you "unbridge" them and use different subnets, I don't see how they could.

DD-WRT's GUI can be a bit flaky though at times I suppose, especially with the sheer number of builds they have going. There could be some extra things that need to be set, perhaps via commands, but I'm sure DD-WRT's Wiki/forums would have something about it.

Alright JD, personal router preference for this setup?
