Well after searching all over the web to find a solution, I have not been able find one. I have 4 printers:

2 - Brother MFC-9130CW connected wireless
1 - HP LJ1200 connected wired
1 - Konica Minolta bizhub 7222/IP-424 connected wired

Originally, I had everything connected through the internet provider modem/router. We were having wireless connection issue with laptops and one of the Brother Printers. So, I decided to buy a Netgear R6400 router to have a stronger signal. I have it mapped as modem connected to router then the router connected to a hub that all my wired computers and printers are connected to. When the new router was introduce, I could no longer connect to the two wired printers. Everything else worked great. I thought maybe the router had some sort of protection that was the issue, but I disabled everything except the wireless broadcast on the router and still nothing. I am unable to ping the 2 wired printers I just receive a timed out. I then connected it back the way it was before when everything worked and I still have the same issue. On the Konica, I am trying to connect via TCP/IP setup, is there a better option to set-up that may be easier? I have been trying to figure this our for weeks. I would greatly appreciate some help.

Thanks
 
Solution
You added a new WIFI router. The new WIFI router SHOULD NOT be configured as a router because then you will create a 2nd subnet which is creating the problem you are having. the WIFI router should be configured as a simple Access Point, there is a writeup HERE.
