MR60 issue with Epson ET-2760 printer/scanner

My  MR60 mesh router is causing an issue with my Epson AIO: The  printer cannot "see" my desktop computer, so I can't use the control panel on the printer to do my scans. It seems to be "caused" by the MR 60 router. When I switched back to my Netgear AC1750 router, the issue disappeared. Any ideas on how to "fix" my MR 60 system? I need the mesh system in my new house.

The usual way to fix wifi printers is to find the printer maker's utility, the software that runs on your operating system. Then use that to connect the printer to the wifi.

 

The router just broadcasts wifi. It is then down to the printer to play ball. There isn't much that you can do on a router, beyond fixing it to a particular IP address, that affects what the printer gets up to.

 

Maybe that is what you did on the Netgear AC1750, whatever model that is from the dozen or so with that wifi technology.

 

Where possible, using the WPS feature can simplify things.
