It would be better to edit your Wi-Fi networks SSID to be separate with different names. Unless you have pods, then you won’t be able to

What is the error message you get when it goes offline?

Printer just says offline. And I don't see/can't find an error message on the printer..... I may just buy a Motorola and turn the Xfinity back in.

Are your wireless networks combined? If so, try splitting them

I'm not real tech. I can find the info shown in the file below. Says everything is auto. Can I disable the 5?

I found the way to give different names to the 2.4 and 5 networks so will try that. I know for a fact that my wireless printer will not work with 5!

After I set up the 2 separate networks, I restarted the desktop and the printer. Still no luck. I then did a modem restart, and now it seems to be working. I hope it lasts!
