No WiFi after installing new printer
I have just installed a new Epson XP-6100 printer and when it connecdted to the router it has disconnected all my other devices. I have disconnected it and now after trying to connedt it again there is no Wi-Fi. It finds a router called NTGR-5k6egcuzslnoilj which was never there before but it is asking for a password???.
Non of my other devices can now fing the old router name and I cannot even connect the printer again

Recursively and from outside a little difficult to figure out what was configured, and where ....
In the "normal" XP-6100 - How do I connect my product to my wireless network using the product's control panel? process, the printer is configured to the wireless name and its security setting - nothing is changed on the router at all.
In case on does select the "Wi-i Direct" the printer would make up a standalone AP just for printing ... unrelated to the router as untouched.
Probably tried some WPA button, and used the factory reset on the router? Does this wireless NTGR-xxxxx name match the one on the printed label?
