Printer Connect
I have a new printer, Epson ET-3958 and an Orbi RBS 760 mesh system.After reading many post, I now know the problem is the printer can only connect at 2.4 but the router wants to connect at 5g. ...
Epson says this printer has "Dual Band" WiFi:

i.e. the router announces, "I support 2.4G and 5G" and the printer says, "fine. connect me to 5G"
A device that supports ONLY 2.4G simply cannot connect to a router at 5G. The only way to force a 2.4G connection is to find a feature in the printer to disable 5G.
