Just set up this router. Really impressed with performance but when I try to connect my Epson XP-612 the router via USB, the router just keeps rebooting.

Printer works fine on Wifi.

Wondering if this is a case of my printer isn't supported for USB, or if there is some setting somewhere which I need to change.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

FWIIW I have the same problem with a tested printer make/ model (Canon ip6700D which is used as a photo printer - was a networked photo printer!) and have raised a support ticket. I could use it with 3.8.7_BT but not the later firmware.
Best regards

Hi Piste Basher - Thanks for the post but I don't think it helps (sorry) as I'm not trying to use Bonjour. The loop is caused when the USB connection is plugged in. The Draytek instructions state that this should be self configuring (support email included screen shots which are the same settings as I have). It all worked on 3.8.7_BT (as I received the router). I upgraded to the latest software and the router refused to boot with the printer connected (lights flash in a repeating sequence as if its trying to reboot but "something" stops it from completing).
Best
