Couple options. 1. In your Actiontec you can reserve a particular IP for your printer based on it's MAC address so it will always get the same IP. 2. You can assign a static IP to the printer . . . usually this is by letting it get one from the Actiontec then browsing to that IP in Safari. From there you can change the printer from DHCP to static IP and give it a fixed IP, subnet mask, and gateway (use the same gateway and mask that the DHCP provided). 3. You can connect to the printer via Bonjour networking instead.
