putting this here for Future reference and in case others are/will have the same issue as well as a possible fix ( it worked for me )

Problem:

when trying to setup the printer on a wireless network ( from changing router, SSID Password, bla bla ), presented with the following error

" printer was unable to communicate with any wireless router or AP Point "

Solution :

back out of the configuration screen until presented with the following options

Automatically scan

Manually input Wireless Credentials

at the bottom there is a link to connect to the Products Internal Web site ( this is the Printers built in web server

toward the bottom you will see an area with Currently connected SSID, and Avaliable SSID's ( in my case because i was switching Routers, w same SSID but Different PW it was already there. )

select or type in whatever your SSID is, and below that you will see a drop down box with security type and Password.

Delete whatever PW is there and put in correct PW.

Reason Theory:

for some reason it seems that the printer will keep trying to use the Previous SSID PW regardless if you put Manual or not if it is an SSID " NAME " that you have connected to before. ( can be different routers, but if its the same SSID name ) and have to manually change it to get it to connect

(example, i Had an Linksys router with SSID of " Dromund Kaas " and tonight got a EA4500, set it up with the same SSID but diffrent PW. the printer would not connect no mater what i did. created a new SSID name and it connected fine. tried to redo the Dromund Kaas SSID and wouldn't connect. went to the Manual page and changed the PW in the field, and it connected fine )

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
    • How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
    • I'd basically agree. The only point I would add is to be careful not to treat science as a religion, complete with priests, dogma, and blasphemy. Humans are highly susceptible to religious-oriented ways of thinking since it aids in forming communities of like-minded people. The problem is that when this happens, nobody wants to be ostracized from the group by saying that a deeply-held idea is wrong. Science and "peer review" are not immune to this behavior, unfortunately. In the end, finding truth is our own responsibility and we can't depend on others to hand it to us. Skepticism is key, along with curiosity and the willingness to critically evaluate and consider ideas both new and old.
