I can't believe I have to post on this forum instead of getting proper instruction with somebody from netgear but here we go... I have a CBR750 mesh system with WPA3 enabled, my printer i just bo...
You'll need to set WPA2 mode on the CBR if you want the printer to connect.
Does WPA matter if it's plugged directly into a satellite via ethernet? Thats how i have it setup now, and I can see the printer on orbilogin but the printer is still telling me its offline
No. I would connect the printer to the RBR via ethernet. Then try to connect to it.

WPA is WiFi authentication. Ethernet connections have no authentication. If the printer is connected with an internet cable and appears on the Orbi Attached Devices display, then it is "connected". Many printers have settings where the user must select Ethernet, USB, or WiFi. Perhaps the printer has been told to use WiFi and does not recognize the Ethernet connection.
