Hi, just changed broadband suppliers, would my wireless printer automatically connect to new router or do I have to sync it to new router?

You need to connect the printer to the router. Press the WPS button on the router & then press the wifi button on the printer. If that doesn't work, try it the other way round (printer then router).

Your new router will have a new ID and password (you ARE password protected aren't you?) so you will need to connect it.

Thanks, do I have to do that through the printer?
The exact method of set-up varies between printers. It would help considerably if you'd tell us which printer you've got.

It's an Epson xp 212-213 series
You will need to sync it to the new router as it will have a new router name ans IP address

There's only a WIFi button on it which it says in the manual to press for 3 seconds but whenever I try to print from laptop, iPad or iPhone it says printer not found
