Mac Mini
(Wifi disabled)
I have the above network setup, it's a combination of wifi and TP-Link powerline adapters.
The MacBook Pro is my main computer. I find that when I have wifi disabled on the MacBook Pro I am not able to connect to the Mac Mini, HomeKit devices or printer. I am able to access the Internet.
When I have wifi enabled everything works as expected*.
On the Mac Mini, wifi is disabled and everything works as expected.
It's as tho the powerline stuff is not in the same network as the stuff connected to the Wifi Router.
Is there a way to get the MacBook Pro, via powerline, to connect to the Mac Mini and the rest of the network?
*The wifi connection in my home office is very bad, hence wanting to use powerline.
