Printer help

2 replies

DrHildegardeLanstrom · 10/02/2022 20:50

I used to muddle along just fine with a small basic HP printer. We then upgraded our broadband to a sky broadband hub and it won't connect to the wifi any more as it won't work with 5GHz.
Does anyone have a great basic printer (not photos etc) which will use 5GHz wifi?

I think there are ways round this - that your 5GHz can be set up to transmit on the lower bandwidth too. Your network supplier should be able to talk you through it.

No personal experience though

I've just had a quick google and all sky routers use 2.4G as well.
You might need to turn off the 5G and then try to connect, but it should work. (After that you can turn the 5G back on.)
