Model: Deco X1500  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version:

Hello, my X1500 works fine with three nodes and a fibre 300 MB incoming line.  I do have an issue with a 10+ yr old Brother BW-2270 printer, (runs only on 2.4 G band) - whereas I have enabled both bands in the network.  Both bands have same password and network name and I can see the printer connecting to one of the routers.

 

Now, for some reason unknown to me the printer drops out, this is not a range issue, the router is 8 meters from the printer and signal strong - I suspect it may have something
to do with the old equipment, I have a newer Canon inkjset also running on 2.4 which never drops out. The BW is my reliable workhorse and way beyond end of life/no support available.  But I'd have to replace it, any suggestions are highly appreciated.  I have the latest SW on all nodes.

Best regards

When using an old wireless equipment this issue can be caused by the Smart Connect feature enabled on Deco.

You can test that by disabling Smart Connect feature on Deco main unit and test the wireless printer connection stability.
