Adding Z wave with WPS
I am having difficulty add Jalsco (Honeywell-zw3104) Z wave dimmer to my network using the WPS to my Orbi RBK853 router/network. I have replaced a previous network and everything worked just fine. Any suggestions?

Good Luck.
Can't find much on this product, but what I see it's a Z-wave dimmer sold under different brands. Either way, I doubt it does connect direct to a Wi-Fi network. Is it possible your old router came with some Z-wave interface or there is a Z-wave gateway/controller in the game?
I agree with schumaku . The User Manual for this product specifically says it requires a "Z-Wave Controller". It is not a WiFi device.
Yes, that's one source I've checked, too.

The previous network appears to be the key question. There are some residential WiFi routers that include Z-Wave and Zigbee. The Orbi does not.
So, exactly which router was installed when "everything worked"?
