My old printer (Samsung W2070W) will not connect to eero as it uses WPS encryption.
I am looking to buy a Canon PIXMA TS7450I but it does not seem to support WPA2 AES encryption (as reuired by eero). This printer supports WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WEP encryption according to the manufactures specification.
Does anyone know if any of these will be accepted by eero and allow me to connect wirelessly to my network.
Eero certainly do not make it easy to source acceptable printer models.
Any feedback appreciated.

There are several different things here:-
On the other hand, for WPS to work, the device & router must both support a minimum of WPA2 Personal.
Now to the Eero, the first problem is that it does not support WPS at all (unlike other TalkTalk routers):-
However, that does not mean that you cannot connect a printer to it, but it is more difficult. You must ensure that the printer that you want to use supports connection to the router by first selecting your wireless network name (SSID) & then allows the password to be entered. It might have an on screen keyboard for this, or some other method.
It is true that WPS can be insecure, which is why on all other TalkTalk routers it can be disabled after initially connecting your devices.
