Model: Deco X20  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: 1.5.1 Build 20210204 Rel. 50738

I have been unable to add a wireless printer to my network. I have turned off Beam Forming and Fast Roaming.  I have tried 2 different printers from 2 different manufacturers and still no success.  What step am I missing?

 

I have 3 Deco X20s connected on the network.

Try single band WiFi, to see if it helps: enable only 2.4GHz on Guest Network. Try connecting printer to Guest Network.

 

If that does not work, keep single band and change Guest Network SSID to something very simple, such as AAAA , also password to something simple, such as 1111 - and try again.

How are you trying to connect the printer to the Deco?   Is this via the password or are you trying to use WPS?

 

If it is WPS you will need to enable / activate it on the deco node nearest the printer.
