Static Route was created by leighwhitling
Hi All
I dont know if this is possible as the DrayTek i am using, hosts both my LAN addresses as opposed to another router hosting another LAN.
So i have 2 LAN's setup [Main network & Guest Network]
Main network is LAN1 [192.168.1.0]
Guest network is LAN2 [192.168.3.0]
I have a printer on Main network [192.168.1.7] which i would like guests to be able to print on so can i link this with Static Routes ?

Yes if you've enabled Routing between those 2 LANs.....however all the wonderful auto-discovery broadcast magic that devices use to find resources on a Network won't work without an mDNS Repeater / Proxy in place.

As @
phardcyder
says, the guests will need some means of finding the printer, but the actual routing is already in place.
At "Diagnostics >> View Routing Table ", you should be able to see entries similar to:
What might not be in place, is the 'permission' to route between them - almost like a firewall rule - by default, Routing is disabled between the LANs.
See: the bottom half of the GUI @ "LAN >> General Setup " to change this.

Code:
C~ 192.168.1.0/ 255.255.255.0 directly connected LAN1
