EX6120 compatibility with Orbi WIFI 6

Hi - 

 

I have just switched to Wifi 6 with the Orbi mesh system. It's working really well - except that my office is in a distant part of the building and I have a Xerox printer, (Phaser 7100) that needs an extender to work wirelessly. Since I've switched over to the the Orbi, I cannot get the printer to work wirelessly. I have reset the extender twice to factory settings and then set up to the new wifi credentials.  On the extender router and power lights are on constantly (green). The WPS light is off (I didn't use WPS to set up as there's no WPS on the Orbi) and the device light lights green when I connect a device (eg I switch over my computer to the extenders wifi network - although I don't need to do this.  Is my extender compatible with Wifi 6 or can anyone suggest a solution?

Cheers

My Orbi is a Orbi Pro WifI 6, SXK80.
