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.
I used to be able to connect to 2.4 printer from 2 laptops and 2 cellphones and print with no problem when I had 2 names one with 5G and one for 2.4
Then the Optimum upgraded my modem to one that supports 2.4 and 5G with one name automatically. Now I can only print from my main laptop and the other 3 does not see the printer and they can not even ping the printer's IP address. I search all over internet and tech forums and found some other people who have the same problem but so far no solutions found.

Anyone experienced the same problem?

Cheers!
