Printing issues -RBR50
Newbie here.
Found a solution to my problem and maybe it will work for others too.
I recently purchased Orbi RBR50. The product works as advertised. Until, I realized that my printer was not communicating with my computer.
I deleted the printer from windows and reinstalled. That didn't work. Used both Lan port and TCP/IP to no success.
Then, I decided to try one last thing. My cable modem/router. Used the WPS setting in my printer and pressed the button on the modem. Oh, before I forget, you have to turn on the broadcast at routerlogin.net. It won't work if it's not broadcasting. It should work if your printer doesn't have WPS.
Hope this helps someone else.

From your description I get it that your Orbi is set in AP Mode, correct?
- The only 2 setting changes I made was I went to the highest security protocol and turned off the 5ghz setting. The reason I turned off the 5ghz setting was because of some devices I have can only communicate at 2.4ghz.
