Trying to connect ethernet printer to router

I am trying to connect an ethernet printer to my modem/router, but the yellow light keeps flashing, it never goes to green, and the router doesn't seem to recognize the connection. I had this printer connected with my previous WIFI modem and it worked fine. What do I need to do? I want the printer available for my other network devices.

    You have to set it up. Using Windows OS? Then control panel >> devices and printers >> add a printer     then follow thru.

    No deive will work without setting it up.
