Wireless Printer and XB7
I have tried everything suggested, but my older Epson printer obtains ip address of 169.254.x.x subnet 255.255.0.0 and router shows wi-fi address of 10.0.0.x. Worked fine with older modem/router. There must be a solution. Has anyone figured out how to make this router work with older printers?

My older epson works flawlessly with the Xb7, I am guessing you tried to set a manual ip?

Yes I tried manually with 10.0.0.x that xfinity shows as the address, but no go. Also noticed that printer always shows Domain Name as blank.

Hi there @user_4e67a0 thank you for joining us here in the Xfinity Support Forums. The quickest way to connect any wireless printer to the XB7 is by using WPS set-up, though sounds like your printer does not want to talk to the network for some reason. What is the model number of the printer?

This is an Epson NX625. When I run the Wireless LAN setup, it sees the router. Comcast assistant set router up showing SSID2.4 and SSID5.0 in case we were getting a bad connection. The printer is displaying SSID2.4 so it is obviously seeing the router.

Attempted to setup the printer again - same results. Here's a good question - using internet.xfinity.com to look at the wi-fi connections, I see my PC as 10.0.0.71 and the printer as 10.0.0.208, however from the same pc, windows can't see the printer. This must be a comcast/windows 10 issue.
