WPA and WEP
My older printer is asking for the WPA for my orbi rbr50 router yet I can't find it or get further in my setup. Suggestions? Thanks.

WPA is not someting to ask for, much more it's the older variant of WPA2-PSK (AES), using the older TKIP encryption variant, known as WPA-PSK (TKIP), sometimes referred as WPA2-PSK (TKIP) as a backward compatibility variant for WPA2. Network name and security key is the same as for using WPA2-PSK.
In case your Orbi does not accept the TKIP encryption connection, cnaghe it to the compatibility mode for and - see the fine manual Orbi WiFi System User Manual on p.79/80.
