We have just got sky glass. New router wont connect to hp printer

Has anyone successfully connected a hp printer to their new sky glass WiFi?  The WiFi just drops out and wont send info to the printer.  I've followed all the instructions.

'Sky Glass' isn't a WiFi provider: it's a client device.

 

If you're referring to Sky Broadband then you may need to separate the WiFi bands being broadcast from the Sky Hub.

So to split the two channels you need to go to your router config page which can be found by typing 192.168.0.1 into your web browser. To access the page, you'll need;

username: admin

password: sky OR your WiFi password

- Select wireless from the navigation bar and scroll down a little and untick the 'Synchronise 2.4GHz and 5GHz settings'

- Scroll to the bottom of the page and hit apply.

- Once the page reloads you need to go to the 5GHz wireless settings page on the sub navigation bar below where you click wireless before

- In the 5GHz section you want to go to the box called 'Name (SSID)' and add something like 5g to the end of the current name

- Scroll down and hit apply

- Then on any wireless device you should now see two networks. One network will be the same name as usual and will be 2.4GHz band and the other will be the usual name with 5G on the end (Or whatever you typed). Connect any 5GHz capable device to the 5GHz network and see if it works correctly. The WiFi password should be the same if you havent changed it.
