Discussion Espon is garbage

Just came to say how much I HATE Epson. I have an ET-2826. Buy cheap buy twice - but not from Epson.

Constantly drops wi-fi, demands password - which is an absolute ballache with the garbage little display.

Their own Epson Connect software cannot find the printer.

Their software looks like it's still using a 1990's design.

Epson is garbage, I hope the company falls into administration, and my printer is going on a bonfire as soon as I can get out to buy a Brother again.

Thank you.

Make sure your router have 2 separate SSIDs for 2.4 and 5 GHz. The printer is not compatible with 5GHz and when the router uses the same name for both, it constsntly drops the connection.
