Question looking at this printer for computer novice who only rarely prints and maybe copy or scan and fax but was told to look for Wi-Fi 802 and 5gz or dual band since just switched from DSL to Verizon 5gz router and own Android phone with desktop computer form HP Microsoft 10 or 11 also Saw this printer was only connected Wi-Fi only some others have USB and Wi-Fi

Thank you for visiting.  Your best source of this sort of information is the manual and online printer resources at https://www.usa.canon.com/support/p/pixma-ts6420a?srsltid=AfmBOopy6D5Q6xFeY0TDobBQF_EWeRjn9eDVXZaDyf...  and the knowledge base at https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/s/ 

The T6400 series of manuals is at https://ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/Manual/W/TS6400%20series/EN/CNT/Top.html. 

According to the manual the printer supports both 5GHz and 2.4GHz.  5GHz is faster and 2.5 GHz tends to have less interference and reliability issues.  I use a WIFI 6 mesh network and 5GHz and have few issues.   Dual band is fine and tri-band is as well. See https://ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/Tutorial/TS6400%20series/EN/TRL/trl-a0002.html for more networking detail from the manual.

I apologize, I misread the link I posted at https://ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/Tutorial/TS6400%20series/EN/TRL/trl-a0002.html which states:

• This printer does not support IEEE802.11ac, IEEE802.11a, or IEEE802.11n (5 GHz). Check if your device supports IEEE802.11n (2.4 GHz), IEEE802.11g or IEEE802.11b.

So you'll need 2.4 GZ 802.11 (N, G or B).  Thanks to Rick for pointing out my misinformation!
