Cannot connect HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus to T-Mobile 5G Gateway
I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer N911g. I have just gotten a T-Mobile 5G Gateway router set up with 2 networks: one with 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz (dual band) and one with just 2.4 G...
@JohnPM67 please take a look at the following thread. They had success setting up a separate 2.4ghz SSID for their printer and it worked (3 SSIDs).

let us know how it goes.
Update: I was able to print via Wi-Fi from my old Windows 10 computer, but not my newer Windows 11 laptop. I uninstalled the printer on the laptop and used the HP Smart app to re-install it. I don't know why it broke, but that fixed it.
I made no changes to my T-Mobile Home Internet network and the printer remained connected to the Wi-Fi. As I posted in the linked discussion and countless others, the second network is 2.4 GHz and WPA/WPA2 security. The printer reports that it is using WPA. (It's old!)
