Recently my frontier modem/router gave up, none of the router settings when changed or any ports forwarded. I was sent an EERO pro 6 replacement. Everything wireless connected fine except my printer. I went through the wireless setup and each time it finishes it says connected. However, I tried print/scanner with no luck. I put in the installation disk and when it searches for the printer it doesn't see it. Any ideas other than hard wiring it is appreciated. TIA

Greetings,
Have you confirmed that the printer is actually connected to the new network?
Newer eero devices come pre-configured with WPA3. Your printer will not connect to a network broadcast using this encryption. Your 2.4 GHz broadcast must be set to WPA2 or wpa3/wpa2 (combo) for backwards compatibility.

Greetings,
You can make modifications to the wireless broadcasts in the eero app. You can change the SSID names, the encryption standards, the passwords, etc. You can also view the list of attached devices and see what's connected to your network and which band. You can see the IP address that's been assigned, as well as assigning a static IP to a device if you'd like.

Got it, thank you! turned out to be the printer choosing an IP that was out of range of the routers subnet and I didn't realize, "192.168.254.134." Manually changed it to "192.168.4.34" and it installed. You made me slow down and think, something I'm not good at!
