If your computer requires special settings from the network (for example, from a DHCP configuration server), you may need to wait a few minutes before your computer can access your network.

In Infrastructure Mode, a "Ready" message indicates that the print server has found an Access Point, and is authenticated on the network. In addition, signal strength and other parameters will provide an indication that the printer is communicating on the network.
