Two different printer (brother and canon) installed but they have the same issue.  AirPrint from two different ipad can’t find the printer.  Until I unplug one of the mesh point I am able to print,

amy firmware or setup I can fix this?

Turn off “Use 160 MHz channel for maximum performance on 5GHz” on the Nest WiFi Router and that should fix the issue. I was having issue with a Brother MFC-L8900CDW where it just would not show up as an AirPrinter. If I rebooted the router or the modem, it would show up again, but then disappear short time later. I also noticed the Samsung sound bar from 2021 said it had issue connecting to the new TV (2023 version) over WiFi. Turning off The functionality on the Wi-Fi access point fix both issues and I haven’t had a printing issue since. Note: I also recommend not having on Wi-Fi protected access 3. I’ve noticed strange issues with devices manufactured prior to 2022 on the network with that on.

Hi. I am having similar issues with Nest Pro and my HP Printer, that worked flawlessly on the original Google Wi-Fi. 

Google, I hope you are listening, as there are more and more issues with the Nest Wi-Fi Pro in its current state. When are we going to see a firmware release that corrects these issues.

Really appreciated for the reply and screenshot. While I check my current setup they are both turned off already but still has issue. Current fix is still unplug the mesh point.
