RS500 cannot connect older printer
Is there a way to connect an older printer using WPA-PSK and not downgrade the whole network?

IF the printer has ethernet port, connect the printer to the router using ethernet.
If you have WiFI and WPA3 in the mix, older devices have problems if WPA3 is on the signal.

That does have an ethernet port, and switching to that would be your best option.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'll have to fish a cable through the wall, which I was planning to do anyway.
