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. Solve Ethernet connection problems Check the following: ● The network is operational, and the network hub, switch, or router is turned on. ● The Ethernet cable is properly connected between the printer and the router. The Ethernet cable is plugged into the Ethernet port on the printer and the light near the connector lights up when connected. ● Antivirus programs, including spyware protection programs, are not impacting your network connection to the printer. If you know that antivirus or firewall software is preventing your computer from connecting to the printer, use the HP online firewall troubleshooter to help solve the problem. 118 Chapter 9 Solve problems
