1. Disable 'Simple Mode': In the SSID Setting page, disable the 'Simple Mode'. This will allow you to access more advanced settings.

2. Configure Advanced Security Settings: Go to the SSID Advanced Settings page. Here, set the Security to "WPA-Personal with WPA1." This step is crucial, especially if your printer does not support the more secure WPA2 standard.

3. Manual Password Entry: Since WPS is not supported, manually enter the Wi-Fi password on your printer to establish a connection.

Remember, these steps are essential to ensure compatibility with devices like printers that may not support the latest security protocols.
