Quantum lets you set up the name of your network in their 360 app, which I assume the tech had you install on your phone. If the name of the new 360 network and password is not exactly the same as the old network, the printer won't recognize anything.

Also, Quantum Fiber networks only operate on 5 GHz. Many older devices will only operate on 2.4 GHz. If your printer is 2.4, that's the problem. This can be resolved by plugging a dual band router into the Quantum wall unit, and setting up another network name on 2.4 Then connect the computers and printer to the 2.4 network. If you don't already have a router from your previous setup, you can buy an inexpensive one on Amazon for ~$30.
