Epson printer won't connect to closer satellite on mesh network
I have an Epson WF-4820 on a 2.4GHz frequency with my Nighthawk mesh wifi 6 system. I have a satellite about 6 feet away from the printer, but the printer wants to connect to the main router upstairs...

What Firmware version is currently loaded?
How many MS are deployed?
What is the size of your home? Sq Ft?
What is the distance between the router and 📡 satellite(s)? 30 feet or more is recommended in between MR and MS🛰️ to begin with depending upon building materials when wirelessly connected.

What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cable between the modem and router. CAT6 is recommended.
