I'm still having issue with my printer not working as it uses Wifi as well.

So your using Guest Network for your device now?
The IoT network and setting a WPA2 only mode didn't work?
What printer model is this? Does it have ethernet port by chance? if so, try ethernet connecting printer?

So your using Guest Network for your OLD devices now? Yes work fine. i.e Fronuis Inverter, and Telsa Powerwall 2.
The IoT network and setting a WPA2 only mode didn't work? Yes do not work.
But my problem now has nothing do with NG gear.
My Workforce 60 printer which has 10/100 port is stuck on wrong port via wireless which I cannot see, I've try with "Epson Net config port software" but cannot see this printer via wireless, would connecting it to the 10/100 port might help you think?- StephenBJul 10, 2026Guru - Experienced User

What do you mean by "wrong port via wireless"?
Have you printed the network status sheet?

Likely yes.
