CP1025nw Printer will not connect to WiFi

Question

AX6000 (RBK852) DOES NOT APPEAR AS A VALID MODEL IN THE DROP-DOWN LIST!

Recently replaced my old RBR50/RBS50 with an AX6000 (RBK852). My HP CP1025nw printer always maintained a rock solid connection to the old WiFi network but I am unable to get the printer to connect to the new network. This printer can only be configured using the HP utility (no display on printer) and the configuration fails at the point the printer attempts to authenticate to the WiFi network. The odd part is that even though the printer doesn't see it as connected, the admin page on orbilogin.net shows it as an attached device to the 2.4Ghz network (same frequency network the printer attached to on the RBR50). Wireless security is WPA2-PSK [AES], same for both old and new networks.

Troubleshooting steps attempted thus far:

Disabled AX on 2.4Ghz (NG Tech Support recommendation)

Changed 2.4Ghz channel to 9 from Auto (NG Tech Support recommendation)

Changed 5Ghz channel to 44 from 48 (NG Tech Support recommendation)

Reserved an IP address for the printer (NG Tech Support recommendation)

Disabled WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings (2.4GHz b/g/n/ax) (NG Tech Support recommendation)

I'm struggling to think that I need to replace this printer when it connected flawlessly to the old Orbi Mesh Network. Lil help here?

I didn't need to contact HP to do the setup when I connected to the RBR50 a few years ago, no reason I should need them now.That's a reality-ignorant approach. Many wireless clients, embedded and generic computer systems had and some still have issues when it comes to associate with Mesh and/or WiFi 6 systems. Even the very popular Intel clients had many - from unable to "see" wht SSID on air to various connectivity and reliability issues. A good start is to consult the HP downloads for your printer, and update the printer firmware.

Try disabling AX mode on 2.4ghz on the RBR under Basic tab/Wireless settings

Try setting CTS frm 64 to 2347 Under Advanced Tab/Advanced Settings/Wireless Settings

Should any of this still fail, you'll need to contact the mfr for additional help and support for there product.

Good Luck.
