I'm trying to connect a WiFi printer to the network. It was connected before, but I switched to Verizon home internet and got an "Internet Gateway" router and haven't been able to detect the printer since. I've tried on my Android phone and Windows laptop. Right now, the signal strength on the printer configuration page is 0%. Can somebody point me to something to get the printer connected? Is there something I need to do in the router configuration?
We're sorry to read that you're having issues with your printer, we'll be glad to help out. Is this happening with any other devices? Have you tried resetting the printer and connecting it again?

Apologies for any confusion, as I think Freddy was replying to the other user here having a similar issue. We're you able to follow the steps to makes sure the 2.4GHz network was enabled on your router? Do you know if any of your other home devices only support a 2.4GHz network as well?
I know I would be reaching out for help with my printer as well, joncosby. I don't use mine as much as we used to, but it still gets used enough to stay connected. Let's dive into this. Thanks for sharing with us your printer make and model! What 5G gateway are you using? Do you have other 2.4GHz and 5GHz network devices connected to the gateway already?
It's an LTE Home Arcadyan, software version 3.2.0.7. So far, I have two phones, a desktop computer and a laptop computer connected without issue. I don't have any other devices to connect, other than the printer.
Thank you. Your printer seems to only work with the 2.4 GHz network. Do you have the 2.4 GHz option enabled in your router settings? You can enable it following steps similar to these on your router's admin page: https://www.verizon.com/support/knowledge-base-301480/
I have a similar problem except my printer is a HP 6455e and is connected to my wifi but wont connect to my HP smart app to register for InstaInk I can print but for some odd reason my printer will not completely set up in the HP smart app.
