    Usually this is the problem with the band steering, the two band having the same ssid.
    you need to deactivate it
     
    https://fizz.ca/en/faq/my-wi-fi-network-cutting-how-do-i-fix-it

     

    The modification of this option is possible thanks to the mobile application Fizz Wi-Fi:
    1. Choose: ''My Wi-Fi''
    2. Select your Wi-Fi network
    3. Select: ''Advanced Settings''
    4. Band Steering ''On/Off''

     

     The Fizz Wi-Fi app is available for free at various online stores (Apple Store and Google Play Store).

     

    This change can also be applied through the Wi-Fi modem user interface:
     

    1. Log in at: 192.168.0.1 from the web browser of any device.

    2. Log in using the following information:

    Username: cusadmin
    Password: xxxxxxxx (Password you chose during initial setup)
     
    3. Go to the next section to apply changes:

    Wireless → General Settings → 5GHz → Band Steering (Disable)

    Try rebooting the printer. Sometimes it is needed for it to get recognized on a changed network.

    Aside from that, did you check the basics such as if it is connected to the wifi, and if it got an IP?

    Try what others suggested, if you are still having problems use your own router.

    First you need connect printer by either USB cable, or wired connection. And you run Epson utility to configure printer (downloadable from epson website). And you can configure it .
    If you need help, go to youtube and find some tutorial.
