The dodocool has a browser based setup that can be done. I'd check its manual again or do a quick search on youtube. I found one with a quick search.

And wps can get coded different between manufacturers. its why most devices have a install wizard built in.

Yes, I did try that on three different browsers but couldn't access the setup page. I'm not the only one according to Amazon reviews. At any rate, it doesn't help with the two printers not connecting. The one printer, the Epson, used to connect, but no longer does after I moved. That's why I reset the router, thinking a setting may have changed. I also tried giving a different SSID name to the 2.4Ghz band as I've read that most printers only recognize that band. I then tried to manually choose that ssid on both the HP set up software and my old Epson (enterig it into the printer itself). Still no luck. It's so weird.
