will Canon TR8620a connect to dual band wireless network. My pixma mx492 does connect. I use the same ssid for both and the router decides which connection is better

Greetings,
The TR8620a can connect to a 2.4Ghz b/g/n wireless broadcast that uses WPS-2 encryption. The "band steering" in some wireless routers doesn't always work as well as the manufacturer would like you to believe. I have a tri-band router and use 3 uniquely named SSID's for this reason. I control what connects to which broadcast.
Try connecting the printer. If you run into any issues, you can temporarily disable the 5G broadcast and re-enable once the printer is connected.

Agreed with shadowsports. Printers largely connect wirelessly via the 2.4GHz. imageCLASS and imageRUNNER units don't utilize the 5GHz bands.
