RAX365 and Canon PIXMA TR4720
New Canon printer can't handle 5g. Is there a way to change something with my RAX365 router to allow it to serve 2.4g? Thank you! A kain

What is this RAX365? Do you mean RAX36S?
Your router already broadcasts 2.4 GHz. You need to get the printer to play ball.
The usual way to fix wifi printers is to find the printer maker's utility, the software that runs on your operating system. Then use that to connect the printer to the wifi.

The router just broadcasts wifi. It is then down to the printer to play ball. There isn't much that you can do on a router, beyond fixing it to a particular IP address, that affects what the printer gets up to.
Where possible, using the WPS feature can simplify things.
Just another user with time on their hands.
