followed by the router IP address.

If the window displays round-trip times, the network is working.

Make sure that the router or printer connects to the same network that the computer connects to.

Print a conﬁguration page.

Compare the service set identiﬁer (SSID) on the conﬁguration report to the SSID in the printer

conﬁguration for the computer.

If the numbers are not the same, the devices are not connecting to the same network. Reconﬁgure the

wireless setup for the printer.

Reduce interference on a wireless network

The following tips can reduce interference in a wireless network:

●

Keep the wireless devices away from large metal objects, such as ﬁling cabinets, and other electromagnetic

devices, such as microwaves and cordless telephones. These objects can disrupt radio signals.

●

Keep the wireless devices away from large masonry structures and other building structures. These objects

can absorb radio waves and lower signal strength.

●

Position the wireless router in a central location in line of sight with the wireless printers on the network.
