Greetings,
Whiile signal strength can cause some delay if you were printing large files, a print job will normally start printing within 3-5 decs after printing is initated. Spooling is the process of the print job being sent from the compouter to the printer. It is possible for the printer to begin printing before the job is completely spooled. If the sized of the job exceeds the printers buffer, then a small (pause) or delay might occur until the rest of the file or job is received, however, this does not affect the speed at which a job prints. Settings in the printer driver (paper type, print quality) etc, are normally what effects the speed at which a job will print.
17% signal seems low if the printer is in close proximity to the router. Maybe there is something in your environment. A neighbors network broadcast is a common cause of interfearence or congestion. Depends on proximity usually.
The Ring Pro and Elite models both support 2.4 and 5G network broadcasts. Your printer only supports 2.4Ghz.
What is the brand / model of your modem / router? Is it dual band? I doubt your ring central doorbell is causing any issues, but you can easily check the network to see what you have connected and how its performing.
Things to look at;
If the router is dual band, are you using separate SSIDs for the two broadcasts
Try changing the broadcast channel the 2.4 Ghz network is using
Some wireless telephones broadcast on 2.4ghz
Wall obstructions such as stone, brick, glass or plumbling can impede wireless performance
Some appliances too
