Orbi RBS50 & HP CP1525nw printer connections
Hi All! I have a HP CP1525nw printer and the Orbi RBS50 router, with two satellites. I've tried EVERYTHING to get the printer to connect to the router. Many posts have great ideas that you KNOW shol...

HP CP1525nw supports three types of connection:
- USB cabled directly to computer.
- Ethernet cabled to a network, such as an RBR50 or RBS50.
- WiFi.
Page 143 of the User Manual describes setting up and troubleshooting a WiFi connection:

There is probably a reason why the printer cannot be located physically close enough to the router or one of the satellites to use an Ethernet connection.
If the printer is broadcasting WiFi, that sounds like a Direct Print feature where individual devices connect to the printer, rather than the printer connecting to the same network as other devices. If the printer was 'reset', then perhaps it is no longer in the correct mode to connect via WiFi. I suspect that the Network control panel described on page 143 may be the answer.
