Orbi RBR40 Not Seeing Ethernet Connected HP 3390
I have an RBR40 Orbi router and a Netgear GS 608 switch. Am trying to connect an HP Laser Jet 3390 via ethernet and it is not seen whether I connect the ethernet cable to the Netgear switch OR directly into the back of the router. Have updated firmware on the router, and turned the printer off and on, but the device does not show up anywhere.

It's the printer which should find the router and not the other way around. :)
After connecting the printer to the Ethernet port on Orbi (or the switch) please use the Menu on the printer and configure it for AUTO (DHCP), as follows:
Automatic configuration
To perform automatic configuration
1. On the control , press Menu.
2. Use the < or the > button to select Network config., and then press OK (the check mark).
3. Use the < or the > button to select TCP/IP config, and then press OK (the check mark).
4. Use the < or the > button to select Automatic, and then press OK (the check mark).
It may take several minutes before the automatic IP address is ready for use.
