Had many problems connecting Epson printer as above. Takes 20 mins some days whereas next day all is working fine. Bought a new printer hoping it would overcome problem but no. Whist PC picks up the printer name it remains unable to actually connect, the printer shows a red cross on the Wifi connection and stated reception poor.

How far away from the broadband hub is the printer and do you have an signal issue with other devices like mobiles that are struggling to connect ?
