Can't connect lexmark printer through wifi/ethernet

Today i tried to connect my lexmark printer to my new sky hub. It does not see WIFI network, i made separate network for 2.4GHz but that one is also not visible for the printer. When i connect hotspot on my phone it is visible to my printer, so printer is working fine here.

I tried to connect printer via ethernet cable to the router directly, but when doing this printer is still no visible to other devices, i can't even access it configuration panel over assigned lan ip address.

I switched channel manually to 7, this did not help, however, printer has an option to manually type wifi network name and password, this is cumbersome, but i did it and this helped! And after it connected manually it started to see other networks too.

@whdck 

What WiFI channel is your hub currently using? Some devices cant seem to use WiFi networks that are using channel 11+
