If possible, use a new cable. • The Ethernet cable is firmly plugged in to the printer and to the network hub or wall connection. Wireless Networking Make sure: • The SSID is correct. Print a network setup page from the printer to check the network settings. • Your wireless security settings are correct. Log in to the access point and check the security settings. If you are not sure if your security information is correct, run the wireless setup again. • The printer and the computer are within the range of the wireless network. • The computer and printer are both connected to the same wireless network. • The printer is located away from obstacles or electronic devices that could interfere with the wireless signal. Make sure the printer and wireless access point are not separated by poles, walls, or support columns containing metal or concrete. Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including baby monitors, motors, cordless phones, security system cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices. • The computer is not connected to a VPN. • Your computer firewall is updated to the most recent version and allows the printer software to communicate over the network.
