**Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571**
### **Issue 1: Wi-Fi Setup Failed**
If the printer cannot connect to the network:
✔ Verify the password is correct
✔ Move the printer closer to the router
✔ Restart your router
✔ Turn off interference (like microwaves or Bluetooth)
✔ Reset the printer’s network settings and try again
**Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571**
### **Issue 2: Printer Not Showing on Computer**
Try this:
🔹 Make sure the computer is on the **same Wi-Fi network**
🔹 Restart both printer and computer
🔹 Reinstall the printer drivers
🔹 Temporarily disable firewall/antivirus (if blocking)
**Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571**
### **Issue 3: Slow Printing**
If printing is slow:
✔ Ensure your Wi-Fi signal is strong
✔ Avoid high traffic on your network
✔ Try restarting your router
**Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571**
### **Issue 4: Printer Keeps Disconnecting**
If your printer keeps dropping the Wi-Fi:
✔ Assign a static IP address from your router
✔ Update your printer firmware
✔ Use a stronger Wi-Fi band (5GHz vs 2.4GHz — compatible routers only)
**Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571**
## **Advanced Tips for Better Wireless Performance**
### **1. Use 2.4GHz and 5GHz Properly**
Most printers work best on **2.4GHz** — it offers better distance coverage. If your router broadcasts both:
✔ Use 2.4GHz for printer
✔ Use 5GHz for streaming and devices nearby
**Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571**
### **2. Set a Static IP Address**
Dynamic IPs can change, causing connection issues.
1. Log into your router.
2. Find **DHCP reservation** or **Static IP assignment**.
3. Assign a fixed IP to your Canon Maxify MB2720.
Now your devices will always find the printer in the same place.
**Printer Tales Support at 1-866-203-7571**
### **3. Update Firmware Regularly**
Poor connection can be caused by outdated device firmware.
✔ Visit Canon Support
✔ Search for **MB2720 firmware updates**
✔ Install updates
This can fix bugs and improve connection stability.
