I really don't know why in the last 3 months it is impossible to let my Epson WF-7710 printer on Windows 10 connect
I have posted my configuration many time on this forum
my hub is the TIM HUB+ Executive ZTE H388XF and i used it with the epson many years with no issue. front panel of the epson is working great with wifi signals on excellent ip adress correct
if i scan with wakemeonlan app the addresses epson status is off.

Does the printer have a static IP address?
yes
If so, what IP address was assigned?
192.168.1.5

Run "ipconfig /all" (without quotes) via the Command Prompt.

Copy and paste the full results here.

One possibility being that the hub was reset and may have reverted to its' default settings.
tried many times.now i have restarted the pc after a night and the printer launch last printing. crazy.

I recommend that you print out the current printer's report/configuration pages again for future reference.

Also take screenshots of other network settings, etc. to print out.

Ensure that the pages are all dated in some matter.

Likely to come in handy....
 
So the Epson printer when connected via Ethernet cable and assigned a Static IP address (192.168.1.5) prints and otherwise works as expected.

However, if changed to wireless connectivity the printer will only print once and then will no longer print? Or does the printer print until it is turned off then will not print until you press the wps button agaIn.

If I follow correctly do not use WPS. Use the wireless network's password to allow the Epson to join the network and be available for network devices to print to the Epson.

Are you able to configure the wireless network to use WPA or WPA-2?

If not, then just use the Epson printer as a wired network device.

Otherwise you will need to read the Epson printer's documentation and learn how to reconfigure the printer for wireless network connectivity to your network,

Do you know the name of your wireless network and the password?
