Dave, how are you doing?
I have a question for you. Was it you who has been able to get help directly from Canon for printer support?
My Canon printer is so slow with my new modem. The modem is 2.4 and 5....it's possible the printer is going to wrong channel, so to speak. The Motorola people have been emailing me some suggestions for modem settings, but still no improvement. Think Canon could/would help?
The printer was fine with the Xfinity modem......

Came downstair this AM to walk around while pushing a walker. Sitting at Mac for the first time in 2 weeks; boy do I hate trying to type and get around on a iPhone while laying on my back. I'll be back in bed for the afternoon; can't over do it.

Yes, call Canon, their support is awesome.

^ I hope you will feel better. Resting adequately and not straining yourself is key, I imagine.

Canon support was great. One of my initial thoughts was the signal strength from the modem to printer is weak. No reason for it as the modem is right near the printer, but the icon does not show good strength. Canon support had me print a few reports from the screen on the printer, and yes, the signal is too weak for the printer to print with acceptable speed.

I emailed Motorola. Not sure what they might suggest. I guess I can still return this modem and try another one....not sure the results would be any different as the signal strength to all other devices is fine.

I had the same problem sometime back. The modem/wifi router sat right next to the printer and the printer was terribly slow. I ended up moving the modem away from the printer to help it. My only thought was that the signal was over powering the printer......but who knows....it worked!

My pixel phone uses the USB-C connector for the headphone jack as well as the charger.
The upside is it helps them make the phone waterproof which is cool.
The downside is at night in the dark when you plug in the headphones, it doesn't charge for a damn.

I have the Pixel 7 pro and the Google Pixel Buds Pro earbuds. They work great at noise cancelling and are my first earbuds. Only problem is if you drop one on a flight. I'll be using them in a few hours on my flight to socal. I charged them in the case yesterday as it connects with a USB-C connector.

Doesn’t the Pixel have magnetic charging available?

I know the answer is simple, just don't do that.
