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.
I have many 2.4 GHZ devices that had no problem connecting to my Quantum Network. I believe they support both.
