Sky installed 5 days ago its fine-- now I cant use the land line or my printer getting very stressed

They activated the broadband last fri but that deactivated my printer and land line phones? Getting very stressed trying to use their labrynthine  help mechanisms -- they said everything would be straightforward --it never is is it

Typically a phone handset or DECT base station will plug into the rear of the Sky Hub.  Internal telephone extension sockets won't function any more: that's a side effect of the move to digital telephony.

Thanks-- as a total computer etc nerd -- I eventually worked it out-- it would have been so much easier if threir engineers had pointed it out or even done it when they were here -- it took me about30 seconds once i had worked out why the old sockets were not providing a signal

any ideas why the printer -- a newish HP has ceased working-- it seems to be picking up a wifi signal?

@Comdumb  If you have the newer white router from Sky it is set default to WPA3 and not WPA2.

If someone has helped give them Like.
