I’ve had copper and fiber networks, none of them matter for your internal network.
Just go into the new router, change both ssid’s to match your old wifi name and same pwd and you will be fine. No need to hire anybody for a 5 min job.
And if there is only one SSID because the router does not support 2.4ghz? Or if even that doesn't work because the firmware/hardware of the printer does not support the newer WPA protocol? How do you turn those situations into a 5 min job?
