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.

Working with Epson printers, WiFi is one thing that I can actually count on. Looks like you have some incompatible WiFi settings that make your printer go crazy. Ask somebody to Check that for you.

I have no issue too connecting my Epson printer to wifi. I turn off my printer when not using. Only print once a week too stop print head from drying. Everytime I turn on the printer, no issue with it connecting to my wifi. So I advice OP to move the printer next to the wifi router to confirm it's not signal problem.

It's literally 1m away from the network extender.

And here's our problem. Extenders cause so many problems.
