HP Printer Wireless Set up Issue

That is interesting since my home computer is as old as my printer and doesn't have a wireless card in it so I have it connected to the 5g internet device with Ethernet cable so not sure what it would be using. It might be combined one automatically since it is not using a SSID when using Ethernet cable?  I just tested using the 2.4 GHz SSID from printer and still not working, but now the showstopper might be that I can only connect to 5g device over Ethernet vs Wireless and can't chose 2.4 GHz SSID.

Ethernet is totally different than WiFi.  One is wired, and one is wireless.  That's why your PC works on wire, and your printer probably will also if it has an ethernet port and wired up physically to your gateway.

After you split the bands, the 2.4GHz wireless protocol might still be too new for your printer to recognize and connect to WiFi.  Adjusting the parameters mentioned above might solve the connectivity issue.
