Orbi RB973 Connect to printer
Cannot connect HP wireless printer to new Orbi RB973 mesh system. Printer worked fine on previous Orbi mesh system.
Using same SSID name and password from prior system?
Possible printer doesn't like mixed mode WPA2/WPA3 settings which the printer Mfr will need to help with.
Try installing the printer on the IoT network using WPA2 only setting.
Does the printer connect via ethernet if it has a ethernet port?
Contact the printer Mfr for help and support information regarding there product.

Connecting to the loT 2.4 wifi worked.
Thank you!
Glad you got it working. Please mark your thread as solved so others will know. Be sure to save off a back up configuration to file for safe keeping. Saves time if a reset is needed.

Enjoy. 📡
I can't connect my wifi printer to the new Orbi 7 system. It was previously connected to an older Orbi mesh system and worked fine.
