• Checking wireless router location

  Place the wireless router and machine where there are no obstacles between them. Wireless communication between different rooms or floors is generally poor. Wireless communication can be impeded by building materials containing metal or concrete. If the machine cannot communicate with the computer over a wireless LAN due to a wall, place the machine and the computer in the same room.

  In addition, if a device like a microwave oven that emits radio waves of the same frequency bandwidth as a wireless router is nearby, it may cause interference. Place the wireless router as far away from interference sources as possible.

  The machine and wireless router should be connected using 2.4 GHz bandwidth. Make sure the wireless router for the machine's destination is configured to use 2.4 GHz bandwidth.

  For more on the wireless router, refer to the instruction manual supplied with the wireless router or contact its manufacturer.
