Nighthawk M6 to Brother printer

Thats a pretty old b/g/n printer. It might have issues with the new security (wpa3) or even just the new wifi standards.
Is your M6 on wpa2/wpa3 mixed mode for security? If so, try just wpa2
Having issues connecting my Brother HL-L2305W printer. The my network name does not show up and having issues trying to manually enter it.
One option is to connect it with ethernet (assuming it is near the router).
What are the issues with manual entry? Would simplifying the network name and password help?
Unfortunately the router is in an out or reach area due to it being directly connected to a security system.
I figgured it out after reading the above response. Had it set wrong. being that i used all new devices and the printer being the only older device.
The printer couldnt accept 5g. Which i only had that on and not 2.4g
