Can't connect my HP wifi printer to my network after a modem/gateway change.

Question

Hi, all, recently updated my Cox gateway from the gray one to the white modem, and now I can't seemget my HP printer on the network, I'm curious if anyone here has the similar experience and how to fix it.I think its because it uses 2.4 range and not 5GHz , Is there away to change the setting on the device? I dohave the Cox wifi app.

Hi, there. You can log into your Cox app and disable the 'band steering' so that it will separate into two different networks. Follow these instructions, but choose 'Split Bands (not recommended)' to achieve the separation. https://www.cox.com/residential/support/using-a-single-wifi-network-name-and-password.html
