I just installed a TP Link Deco M4 mesh wifi system. I kept the same network name and password, but whereas most of my devices connected automatically. my M15w Laser Jet won't.
There's no WPA button on the Deco router and my old one (a Virgin Hub 3) is in modem mode, so pressing the WPA button there isn't going to help...
Any ideas?
