Wireless printer can't utilize 5Ghz Wi-Fi

You might search this forum and other places for Canon’s corporate attitude toward older devices. It is a standard ‘not compatible, buy a new one’. It is often self serving rubbish although for some of their devices it can be a challenge to find appropriate drivers that will work. These, and a few subsequent posts…

The bottom line is unless your new wifi access point is 5 GHz only, which would be rare but not impossible, there is no reason you should not be able to get your printer working. Canon ‘support’ supports current devices in warranty, and tells the rest ‘cannot be done’ so they buy new, as evidence suggests.
