Hi, I have a Mac Pro which is hooked directly up to my Time Capsule. I also have a Canon MP620 which is in another room. It communicates with my Time Capsule wireless and allows all my computers to print to it. My Canon MP620 has been working perfectly for a couple of months without any issues.

recently my wireless computers (3 PC's) which are upstairs were having slower then normal internet. It wasn't that much slower but I noticed that when I went to youtube to watch a video, the video continuously stopped.

My mom's computer was the worst though. The internet was very slow, pages took a very long time to load, similar to being on a 56k modem. Sometimes it was getting 1 mbps.

This would be intermittent though, sometimes the internet would be fast and other times it wouldn't be slow and sometimes my mom wouldn't be able to get on the internet.

I was having no problems printing to my Canon MP620 from any computer, it was instantaneous. To try to fix the internet for my mom's computer I tried changing the network password. So I had to go on each of my PC's and reconnect with the new Network Password.

But I couldn't print to my Canon MP620. It was labeled as inactive. I believe that changing the network password caused the printer to not be recognized by my Time Capsule. I unplugged my Printer and hooked it directly up to my Mac Pro like I did months ago.

I then put the Setup CD in, followed the onscreen instructions, It then asked me for my Network password which I gave it, it then asked me to unplug the printer and place it where it's going to stay. It then took 2 minutes to check the signal connection.

When it was done it said the signal was poor, it said that it could print but it may be slow. I'm confused why it was getting a poor signal. The printer is located in the same place that it's been for a couple of months.

When I first setup the Canon MP620 it had an excellent signal. I can print to the printer but it's very slow. Printing takes a long time for each page. I'm really frustrated, please help.
