Connect Printer with Access Point instead

[KaiOtt]

Hello,

I connected my printer to my home WiFi via WPS, during the connection process I moved my printer close to my router. In its usual destination, the printer is locates quite far from the router, but close to a WiFi access point. Still the printer connects to the router and not the AP, so the WiFi signal is very weak and unstable.

How do I force the printer to connect to the AP instead to the router?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Dear Sandytechy20,

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply. Thank you also for the solution you suggested, unfortunately this does not solve my issue. I'n not trying to connect my printer to my WiFi (it's already connected to my WiFi), I try to connect my printer to my WiFi to one specific WiFi access point instead of the WiFi router that my printer automatically connects to.

I hope I was able to describe my issue clearly enough .

Thanks in advance for your continued support!
