need help for tp link TL-WR820N travel router

Windows 11 24H2 (OS build 26100.3476)

The first thing is that I am almost a total idiot when it comes to networking. This makes internet searches more difficult when it comes to finding resulting in information I can use.

I have a TP LINK TL-WR802N travel router which is currently wirelessly connected to a Windows 10 machine for input and a printer on the output. I wish to determine whether or not the travel router supports wireless connection to multiple input devices for a wireless connection to a single device on the output side. If it is possible, please provide step-by-step instructions to set this up.
Thanks in advance for all helpful replies.

Regards,
caffeine

EDIT: A previous attempt to connect this (Windows 11) device has resulted in losing connection to the windows 10 machine. I will need to establish a connection before connecting to this (Windows 11) machine.

According to its specifications it is a 2.4 gz router which can be used in Router, Hotspot, Range Extender(repeater), Client and Access Point Modes and can connect to multiple wireless devices.. It would depend on how you want to use this device as to how you would set up its configuration.

Are you trying to use it as your only fixed router in your home(wireless router mode)? Or are you trying to use it to extend range for an already existing wireless network (access point or extender mode)? Are you trying to use it as a hotspot router(WISP mode)? The quick start and user guides are fairly self explanatory once you know how the tplink is to be used.

You asked, "Are you trying to use it as your only fixed router in your home(wireless router mode)?"
From time to time I need to travel and stay in a hotel and use my printer on public WiFi. I do not wish to have my computers discoverable over public WiFi; therefore, I use my travel router for print jobs. When I do this the computer in question is offline for internet connection. I wish to add this print feature to the second computer to allow me to continue work with internet connection while the print jobs complete.

At this point I anticipate further questions from you:
Why don't I use my phone instead a second computer? I have disabilities which prevent me from using touch screens no matter how I try. I have a flip phone with no internet connection.
Why do I use a second computer? The older of the computers has more ports available which , in some cases, I find useful. In many cases my print jobs are long, and I wish to continue working.

The user guides you linked don't appear to address how to assign the ip addresses to my level of understanding. (computer1 192.x.x.x computer2 192.x.x.x foe example)
You asked what kind of connection I am trying to set up: "Hotspot, Range Extender(repeater), Client and Access Point Modes" I am guessing that that hotspot is what I wish to set up. (I think that is what my current set up is.)

I wish to set the two computers as input sources for the router. The older (Windows 10 machine) current machine is fully functional. At this point I suppose there will be additional work for the printer to recognize the Windows 11 machine.
