Orbi RBR 750 does not connect to Epson Workforce 545 Printer

I've made several attempts to connect my Epson Workforce 545 to my Orbi network but cannot connect.  Is there a way I can connect?

    Thanks for the advice Mikey94025.

    .My Epson Artisan 837 connected right up (Orbi RBR 750 ) once I followed this step:

    1. Set CTS/RTS threshold for 2.4Ghz to 2347 in Advanced... Advanced... Wireless Settings.

    Best regards,

    It is sort of awkward now that people are buying the new "AX" Orbi's to point out that Netgear has a community forum specifically for those products: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi-Pro-WiFi-for-Small-Business/bd-p/en-business-pro-wifi 

    Searching for "orbi forum" brings you here, where we all have the "original Orbi".  Besides the obvious envy, we have no experience with the AX products.  You will probably get much better advice by posting in that forum.

     

    Because connecting printers should be very similar no matter which Orbi is involved, can you describe at what point in the process "things break down?"  Looking at "Connection Options" in the installation guide, where does it fail?

      I'm having same problem, RBR750 orbi wifi is not connecting to Epson Workforce 635 Printer. I have tried changing the channel for 2.4 Ghz from Auto to 11 and 6, but still printer is not connecting to wifi. Tried WPS push button method as well as manual, nothing is working. Please let me know if anyone knows hor to fix this issue. Printer was working fine on old router.

        Try disabling AX mode on 2.4Ghz. 

        Try setting CTS values from 64 to 2347, Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings...
