I have a Netgear (NG) Router upstairs and an AP-800 (AP) downstairs. The NG receives the internet connection. AP wirelessly links with NG via Station-Infrastructure mode, thus providing data from NG to all the devices connected to AP via ethernet:

{Internet, Computer A, TV}---{NG}¦¦¦{AP}---{Computer B, Network Printer}

--- = wired connection
¦¦¦ = wireless connection

As far as internet connection goes, this setup works flawlessly. Computer B connects to the internet instantly, and receives full speed, and doesn't negatively affect Computer A and TV - which is connected to NG.

However, when printing from Computer A, the printer receives the command to print, but ends up printing random rubbish. When printing with Computer B, the print comes out fine.

Can anybody help me with this?

Thanks in advance.
