Nighthawk AX5 RAX29 Wifi Printer always busy
Since install of the router every device I try and print from comes up with Printer busy message. It's driving me insane. The printer worked flawlessly on my previous wifi router. I do not know where...

Received my HP printer with Ethernet port….happy to report that my printing issues are all resolved. Connected it to a Ethernet port on the router. Took me less than 5 min after opening the box. Time to throw my Brother Wi-Fi only printer into the garbage heap.

My previous Apple router served me well for years but finally died hence my new Netgear router. I hope this solves my problem. As a side note no one which is Apple, Netgear or Brother would help me figure it out. That ok, I get tired of going thru basic trouble shooting over and over in spades. Very tiresome…..I hope the HP fixes my issue. Thanks for your response…..
Please report back when your new printer arrives and you get it installed.

Don't they have a recycling service there?
I took two old monitors and a PC case to our municipal tip this morning.
