Hi,
I have a business network with WAC6103D-I and NWA5123-AC. These accesspoint are managed with the USG60. I have wifi printer which supports only Wifi WPS configuration. How can I add these printers into the wifi?

Hi @TO_Consulting,

WAC and NWA series AP doesn't support WPS, but NBG series AP router support it.

For your reference:

ARMOR Z2 AC2600 MU-MIMO Dual-Band Wireless Gigabit Router - NBG6817 with 3x3 antenna

The NBG series AP router can be change from router mode to AP mode. It can be also support WPS for your printer.

Since the WPS have vulnerability for a long time. And not sure if every vendor had patch for it.

I would recommend to create another dedicated SSID with MAC-authentication for your printer.
