WAX630 deauthorizing printer connection
I started upgrading my network last summer by adding a new WAX630 WiFi AP. At which point I started having problems printing to my Epson ET-2760 printer over WiFi -- I could print right after turnin...
Note, I found https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Wi-Fi-5-AC-and-Orbi-with/Orbi-RBR40-RBS40-V2-1-4-16-mesh-network-drops-connection-to/m-p/1601598/highlight/true#M35230, which seemed like a similar issue where, "the network drops the connection to an Apple iMac." I've tried the fixes suggested in the post but they didn't help.
Had very similar issues with my HP OfficeJet printer (would say connected but wouldn't be usable after a while, requiring printer reboot to fix it). Examined the logs and also noticed a TON of Deauth messages for the printer and other devices. Tried everything under the sun (disabling InstantWiFi optimization scans, increasing the frequency of InstantWiFi optimizations, using specific channels, disabling 5ghz/6ghz for certain SSIDs to no avail. Ended up break out some old equipment and now my 2 WAX630Es are expensive paperweights. Really surprising that this is still an issue as (IMHO) these types of bugs are total deal breakers and make the products unusable
