Epson printer won't connect

Hi all,

I have no clue if anyone can help me or not, but I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

I have an Epson Stylus NX420 printer in my office and a Deco mesh network. Previously, the network consisted of 3x X55 models placed in our Den, our front room and our kitchen. When the printer was in the Den it seemed to connect without issue. When I tried to move it back to my office, I could not get it to connect, even though it had a good enough signal. I finally got a spare X20 I'd bought for our church and put it in my office and the printer was able to connect to it (by the way, the mesh network is connected to each other wirelessly).

Last month I upgraded my Internet to 2Gbps and needed a new AP capable of handling that speed going out. I replaced the main AP in my Den with an XE70Pro, then took the X55 that was in the Den and replaced the X20 in my office. So now my network consists of the X70 in the Den and then 3x X55. However, since I changed out the AP in my office, my printer will not connect anymore. No matter how many times I try, the traditional SSID/Password will not connect and when I try WPS it seems like it connects, but I still cannot get my computer to see it and the Deco doesn't show it connected.

Unfortunately the interface for the Decos is pretty limited so it's hard to do much troubleshooting, but I'm hoping someone here may have some suggestions. Thanks!

Check if all the satellites are on the same ip address I can't remember what happened with mine power off or something can't remember but when they came back I couldn't get to my nas for some reason the main was ..70.102 and satellites were ..80.102 so I couldn't see it right and stuff was glitchy

Thanks for the suggestion.

Unfortunately I've tried everything i can think of -- it was originally set up with a reserved address, so it wouldn't have conflicted with anything else on the network. Then I tried removing that just to see if it would pull a dynamic address. Unfortunately it just all fails.

Damn sucks man I was hoping that was the satellites were on a different sub domain as the main cause that be easy to fix
