Replaced an old Orbi mesh with a new one
I bought a new mesh system RBE373 to replace the old one. My intent is to use the same network names (orbi and orbi-guest). Now my pc calls them orbi 2 and orbi-guest 2 and won’t talk to my printer....

What does the new Orbi system call them???
If they are configured as Orbi 2, and Orbi-Guest 2, then can you change the network names from the Orbi's web admin interface?

Have you looked at the Orbi's attached devices list, to see if the printer is connected?
Is the security mode of the wifi network set to WPA2+WPA3? Or is it set to something else?
