Is there a printer that works on 5G

[OzMachine]

Is there a Printer out there that works on 5G? My wifi has let be work on both 2.4G and 5G, but recently stopped allowing me to log into the 2.4, which means I cannot connect my printer to the wifi. Of course the internet company is not being helpful, so I thought the easiest solution would be to upgrade my printer.

Welcome to the HP Community.

There are lots of printers that support 5GHz.

Listing all of the printers in this category (even aside from the time it takes to do the research for you) assumes that we know what you want, the features you require, and the money you are willing to spend to get the best printer for your needs.

You can easily search for what you want (and can afford).

Next, quickly check whether the printer you like has the features you want - including the connection speed / type.

There are a lot of considerations in addition to simply getting a printer that operates in the 5GHz frequency.

For example,

Mesh Networks support both bands but might switch frequencies suddenly - depending on the printer, this "switching" can cause the printer to disconnect in spite of the "printer support for 5GHz".

Some printers that support dual frequencies do not support other clever features.  For example, the printer might not support Borderless printing, or the printer might only support "manual" two-sided printing (annoying).

Keep in mind: 

With printers - regardless of brand - you get what you pay for.  Cheaper is less expensive for a reason.  Read the tech notes and pay attention.
