Since I got my upgraded brightbox it will not connect to my wireless printer (Epsom xp-225) it doesn’t have a screen or a cable port , I have pressed the wps button and Wi-Fi button but it will not pair I have already enabled the wps and tried through the pbs but it goes from idle to fault I suspect a faulty router as the printer is fine any ideas

Hey,
Actually it terns out that the problem was with the router. The WPS button on top of the bright box 2 is disabled by default and needs to be enabled through the admin settings.

@Neilrumsey Are you trying do set the printer up next to the router. If your not please move the printer next to the router and try setting it up again via WPS.

Good Morning @Neilrumsey.
Can you remember if this is how you set it up last time?
I set my printer up at home using an app on my phone.

Hi @Neilrumsey.
I'd recommend contacting our technical support team about this.
They will have access to your broadband account and be able to help you with getting the printer set up.

Was it working with the un-upgraded Brightbox. What Brightbox is it anyway?
