You can connect your Epson printer to your wireless network using the WPS method if you are unable to.

This is a step-by-step guide to how to do it.

Log in to your router dashboard using a computer or other device.
Look for the SSID section in wireless or network settings. It might, for example, be called a “wireless name”, depending on the brand of router.
Once you have located it, delete the current WiFi name and create a new one.
If your router supports 5Ghz networks, you can create a separate Wi-Fi name.
Save the settings once you are done. Next, navigate back to your router dashboard.
Next, search for Security options. It might be found under the WiFi channel option.
You can now select a new security model, such as WEP 64 bit, and enable passphrases.
To enable a passphrase, enter a passphrase into the box and hit the generate button. This will generate a random string that will be used as your new WiFi password.
Now, you can also use the same technique to generate a new password for the WiFi network at 5GHz.
Save the changes and exit out.

After you have created your WiFi Profile, connect to your Epson printer using your new credentials.
