ET-4850 No WiFi

[Bad Raven]

Bought in Feb 25, this ET-4850 has been working well, but now will not WiFi connect to my router. Onboard printer Network Connections Check lists Error E-6, suggesting in text that router MAC address might be filtered - its not!

The report states that Signal Strength is "poor". I think its non existant! Nothing has altered as far as the router, everything else connected (unchanged) works. The printer is less than 3 metres away in the same room.

All tests fail, all attempts to regain WiFi via menu options and with and without pairing WPS at Router will not find the Router.

Its on the latest firmware (and did not fail concurrently with that update).

I have switched to wired Ethernet (which is inconvenient) and that works OK.

Anything I can do please or is this a return/repair losing its use?

Similar problem, every time I try to connect, i get a message on the printer screen, WIFI error occured Contsct Epson support. So I did and they sent a link to fix but it doesn't work. i cant even make it work with a printer cable. I called them and they were as useful as an ashtry on a motorbike. just said, if their link doesn't work, i will have to pay a repairer and gave a number to a repairer to pay to fix it. I have been buying Epson printers for my businesses and home use for over 20 years and alway great but now, considering moving to another brand. If Epson can't provide a solution and just fob me off to a paid solution with a local repairer, they can shove it where the sun don't shine. No confidence in Epson anymore.
