network printing with nighthawk x 6 tri band

My print is connected to 2.4Ghz wirelessly as this is the only channel is identifies.  when my computer is connected to 5 ghz wirelessly it cant print.  But connect my computer to 2.4 Ghz and it will. 

how do i over come this problem? is it a settings issue?.  I know it would be simple just to connect my computer to 2.4 ghz, but i also have devices connect to 5 ghz which need to print as well

    Hi strongarmsps,

     

    1. Check if the printer is getting a valid IP from the router?

    2. Reconfigure the printer to connect to the router.

  • Can you ping the printer from device on 5GHz? Is the printer configured as network printer?
