Did you see my post on the previously linked thread?
I had the same problem when first settting up and again after a factory reset. It was fixed by setting the 2.4GHz channel to ‘11’ rather than ‘auto’ in the Orbi admin pages ("Advanced, 'Setup', Wireless setup').
My printer (Canon MX-870) couldn’t see channel 13 which the auto setting had used to deconflict from neighbor’s signals.
Try setting WPA and TPIK mode, not WPA2, on the Orbi router then see if the printer sees the SSID name. Let us know.

Recently, I have established a new wifi network using the Orbi RBK40 and the previous one was discarded. The performance of the Orbi wifi network is working very good and performance is very good too. All my mobile devices (such as notebook, iPad, mobile phones) can join the new wifi network easily with connecting to the new SSID created. However, my wifi printer is failed to join the wifi network. At the panel screen of the wifi printer, it cannnot detect the SSID of the Orbi network but it can detect all other SSID of my neighbour's network. I don't understand what the problem is. Right now I cannot use the wifi printer wirelessly.
Does anyone here knows what the problem is and have solution for this problem? Please give me some advice. Thank you very much.
