Our Wifi modem has 2 bands 2.4 and 5.0. The printer only supports 2.4. So I need to connect the computer to the 2.4 band to be able to see my printer.

Of course you need to configure your printer to access the Wifi on your new router. So configure your printer for Wifi and then connect your computer to whatever band you use on the printer.
