Have you read the printer's documentation on how to set it up? Have you contacted the mfgr.'s tech support for help. Do you have the proper printer driver installed? Does the printer work on a wired connection? Does the printer have its own built-in Access Point? What model of modem/router are trying to connect to? Do you have a functioning wireless network running from the modem/router?


Please answer all of the above questions as completely as possible or we cannot be of much help.
