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.
You don't seem to grasp the issue. There is NO new router unless you add one. Quantum doesn't broadcast in 2.4 Ghz, only 5 Ghz, so 2.4 devices will NOT work unless you ADD your own router that has that band and configure it properly.

If the OP owned their own router in the previous installation, and plugged it into the Quantum wall device, then yes, nothing should change. I assume this is your situation and why you incorrectly believe the same situation exists here.

The only thing I agree with is that calling the printer manufacturer is a waste of time.
