## 2. 🛠️ What You’ll Need
Before starting the setup, make sure you have:
✔ A working Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz; most home routers broadcast this). ([Canon Downloads][1])
✔ Your **Wi-Fi network name (SSID)**.
✔ Your **Wi-Fi password** (case-sensitive).

## 3. 📶 Supported Wi-Fi Types
The Canon PIXMA TR4720 supports:
📌 **Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n)** on **2.4 GHz only** — it *does not* support 5 GHz networks. ([Canon Downloads][1])
This means:
✔ You must connect to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi SSID.
✔ If your router broadcasts both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz with the same name, some devices may confuse the printer — consider using separate SSIDs.
✔ If you have networking problems, check that the 2.4 GHz band is enabled on your router.
