NWA50AX adding printer

Mjd0604

Installed my NWA50AX into my outhouse office. Perfect connect to all devices apart from my printer. Is there anyway to active WPS with it? I don’t have a cable for the printer to assist with setup.

It's doesn't have a display on it to connect wifi?
What's the make and model?

I can't find any info for WPS support at all on these APs.  I will say that your printer may not work with WPA2 Wi-Fi security so you may need to use WPA for your 2.4ghz.  Also ensure you have "Allow 802.11ax/ac/n stations only" setting disabled.

Are you using Nebula?

Can you setup your AP to use the exact same wifi SSID and Password you had with your old wifi router or AP?

Hi @Mjd0604

Checked the printer's Wi-Fi capability, it only supports WPA-AES/TKIP security settings. And by default our APs use WPA2 to reach stronger security, which will make the printer unable to connect to Wi-Fi.

Besides, our AP doesn't support WPS. So you need to manually enter the password for Wi-Fi access.

In order to let the printer access the Wi-Fi, you can use "WPA2-Mix" at the security setting page (standalone AP).
If the AP is managed by Nebula, you may first disable the "simple mode" in the [SSID Setting page], and go the  [SSID advanced settings] page, configure the Security with "WPA-Personal with WPA1"

Best Regards,

Thank you Richard.
im going to treat myself to a new printer with on screen WPA2 WiFi settings, that way it will make my life easier.
