AC1900 and slow Epson printer
First, I am positive I posted this question already, but I could not find it at all. So here we are again. To replace my worn-out Airport Extreme router, I got the AC1900 router which was recommended...

1. I think I have a cable kicking around to connect my MBP to the printer. That is a good check to remove printer problems from the sitution. I meant to connect the epson to the router. Not to your MBP
2. When you say change to a different channel, I didn't think there were more than only two: 2.4 and 5 GHz. But I looked up "change channels" in the netgear info and will try that. Sounds promising.
3. The first thing I tried was to disconnect and reconnect to the wifi network, search for new printer software (found an update) and reconnected again, but no change.
#2 looks like my best choice for now, and I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks!! bob.c
Is it still slow if you connect it via the ethernet connection?
If your running over wifi, have you tried changing the wifi channel?
Or "forgetting the ssid" and reconnecting it?

Hi Plemans,
Good news, the printer seems to be running a bit faster after the channel change and copies shoot right out. I couldn't try the direct connect solution as the printer is a room away and is too heavy for me to carry and maneuver to the router. No cable long enough either. So I think I am good to go. Thanks muchly! bog.c
