I have an EE hub that replaced my old EE Technicolor TG589 router. Since moving house my hub is in a different room than my printer (which is non-wifi). Is there a way to use my TG589 as a repeater so I can plug a network cable into it and the printer to share it?

Yes you can do it I think.

I’ve got 2 EE Brightbox 2 routers which I’ve hardwired together.

Do a search for bridging routers. I’ll have a look too.

The routers won't be hard wired as they are in different rooms.

IIRC they were the old Thomson routers in which case they don't have a WDS mode, which is what you need if you were hoping to make it a wireless bridge to use your printers ethernet. If I'm wrong and you find a WDS option in the web gui, that's what you're looking for.

Thanks Galileo. After hours of looking and messing about I came to the conclusion that it doesn't support WDS. I'm assuming I can hard wire it?

You could hard wire both routers and have one just acting as a WiFi AP.

I have some old Draytek Vigor 28xx routers lying around doing nothing but gathering dust, they do WDS and I'm happy to post one. Edit: FoC if that wasn't clear!
