Trouble connecting wireless printer
Just bought and install the Orbi Home Mesh WiFi System (RBK33) and everything connected fine except my HP CP1525nw printer ... I have tried everthing I knew and anything I could find on the ...
Did you reset and reconfigure your wireless printer using the Orbi's SSID? Is the problem with the printer connecting to the wireless network or your PC clients nor being able to see the printer? If the latter, also uninstall/reinstall the printer driver.
Some people have issues with their wireless printers after they replace an older wireless router with the Orbi. It's not sufficient to just name your SSID the same and hope that all your clients will still work. Some of them, like printers, are particular and need to be reconfigured even using the same wireless settings as before.
Thanks for the suggestion ... been out of town and am back ... The router see the printer asked to connect the printer to the computor to download the software and gets to 99% and just sits there and after a little while says its tacking to long and quits the connection ... Maybe the printer is to old to work with this new router ...???
