HP Printer won't accept password
Just switched to a new MK63 Mesh router. Everything conncects, except the printer which wont accept the password. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your response. I was with Netgear tech support. We have determined that the HP7520 printer wireless module is too old to sync with the new WiFi 6 on this Netgear router. I guess I either need to got o the Orbii or change my printer.

I very much doubt it. That is a standard "get out of jail card" that support people throw around when they are stumped.
The router just puts out wifi. There's nothing special about it.
If possible, you could try to disable the AX wifi to see if that makes any difference, but perhaps they tried that.
I still think you should see what HP has to say. Netgear support is the wrong place for help with someone else's hardware.

Etzee, if available on your router, it may be worthwhile to select “the Disable PMF option in the Advanced Wireless Settings page in the router web interface to fix legacy wireless client and printer connection issues” (see the release notes for the RAX120 1.0.1.90 firmware).
In addition, it may be helpful to ensure that you are connecting the printer to a primary (not guest) network SSID, and that your password contains only letters and digits.
The router supports WPS.
So does the printer.
Tried that?
l. Understood, but I had another printer already to switch to, so I did and the issue went away.
