Product Cannot Connect to a Wireless Router or Access Point

If your product has trouble finding or connecting to a wireless router or access point, try these solutions:

• If you are connecting the product via Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and the Wi-Fi icon on your

product's LCD screen is not lit or does not appear, make sure you select one of the WPS options from
the product control panel within 2 minutes of pressing the WPS button on your router.

• Make sure to place your product within contact range of your router or access point. Avoid placing

your product near a microwave oven, cordless phone, or large metal object, such as a filing cabinet.

• Verify that your router or access point is operating correctly by connecting to it from your computer or

another device.

Note:

If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and 5

GHz) mode. If your router uses a single network name (SSID) for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band,
give each band its own network name (SSID) instead, such as Home Network 2.4 GHz and Home
Network 5 GHz. See your router documentation or contact your internet service provider for
instructions.

• Print a network connection report and check the codes and messages on the report to help determine

the cause of the problem.

• You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access

point.

• Try restarting your router following the instructions in your router documentation.

Note:

If you are reading these instructions online, you will lose your Internet connection when you

restart your router.

• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address filtering, are set on the router or access

point. If access restrictions are set, add your product's MAC address to your router's address list. To
obtain your product's MAC address, print a network status sheet. Then follow the instructions in your
router or access point documentation to add the address to the list.

• If your router or access point does not broadcast its network name (SSID), follow the instructions that

came with your product to enter your wireless network name manually.
