Wifi Drops my printer within minutes

I have a new Orbi 770 mesh. 50 plus devices running on the network but my brother printer HL-L2370DW constantly drops offline. I have updated all firmware on printer and orbi devices. I have rebooted...

Ok, I have changed the printer settings to DHCP. I will  attempt to wire it into the router if it fails again to help with trouble shooting. thanks

    Under orbi web app i went to advanced -> LAN and set starting ip 004-254. Then made an address reservation for the printer 192.168.1.2 

     

    then went into the printer web app and set the ip to the same 192.168.1.2

     

    seems to be more stable in this configuration?

      Should only need to set the reservation on the RBR. Printer should be set to auto obtain. 

      However if what you have configured works, use it.
