Take it off autochannel, use a fixed channel (1,6,11) and reset. Some wireless devices don't take well to channel jumping. Worth a try.

I would imagine so... I haven't tried setting-up a wireless printer on the N600's network, but it seems to do everything a wireless router does quite well. My experience with wireless printers is that the printers themselves are the trouble spot in the set-up, not usually the router.

Connect it directly to your router and assign it a static I.P. address then all your devices regardless of how they are connected, wired, wireless will be able to print to this printer. There's really no need to have a wireless printer ever.

This is not a wireless printer, the WiFi version is M401dw. You need either a USB cable or Ethernet. The USB cable is probably easier to configure. Using an Ethernet makes it a network printer. But even with the USB cable you can still share the printer on your wireless network so you don't really need the wireless version.

I was blown away with the picture quality while watching netflix. Now if I could only figure out what I did wrong with installing my printer! :( I'm tryig to get it to work wirelessly. When I print test pattern or anything it says it's going and complete but nothing prints up. Anyone have any ideas for me?

Moti - I've had a firmware problem with a new Brother MFC-J450DW I bought at the end of 2014. I've tried third party inks without success - the printer doesn't recognize them.

I am trying to get connection for this printer. It did not come with a USB cord and I don't see how to connect to my computer "wirelessly". Any info on what the "little deal" is, would be much appreciated.....

You don't need a cable to connect wirelessly. If you download the software drivers from the Epson website it will show you step by step how to connect wirelessly. I would download the latest version. You also have to use the printer while connecting wirelessly. The downloaded online software has instructions will show you how step by step to do this.

No, the M551DN does NOT include wireless networking. It comes with an ethernet network card -- that's what the "N" stands for. If you can connect it via ethernet directly into a wireless router, then you would be able to communicate to the printer wirelessly through the router. But it won't do direct wireless printing independent of a router. If you want an HP printer with an internal wireless card, look for the "W" designation, not "N". I do not think the M551 printer has a wireless version, by the way.

I've installed this printer using the 10 foot interface cable that amazon bundles it with, on my windows 7 machine. I still cannot seem to get it online. I just came across a user guide that states not to use a cable greater than 6 feet. Why is this product being bundled with a 10 foot cable then! Has anyone managed to get it working with the 10 foot cable? If yes, then what else could be the matter with my installation? Ideas would be much appreciated!

I got wireless printing to work fine, it would occasionally detach from my network. Then I upgraded the firmware (fairly easy to do using the software that comes with the printer) and have not had a single disconnect since (months ago). This is one of the nicer color lasers I've used.

You're typical printer to usb cable, flat rectangle one end, squarish on the other. Just type in Printer USB cable. You can also hook this us to your router and have it on the network (that's what I did).

This printer isn't designated as a wireless unit; there would be a "W" somewhere in the last three letters of the model number if it were. However, you might find a router that would go from networked to wireless. Personally, I'd rather get one that's designed to be used the way I plan to use it, which is what I did (for security reasons). Brother has several wireless multi-function printers, so you can just buy what you want.

I think that the paper catch is malfunctioning. I would return the printer and get a replacement. Mine works fine BTW Also, if you are not able to use the wireless feature you may have made an error setting up the printer. It isn't connecting properly to your wireless router. When you get a replacement check the user manual that Dell has online for instructions about making the wireless connection.

this is from a8mark again when i had it hooked up i did`t have the router working yet. it was hooked up but was`t set up yet. but i did have it plugged into the router and it did work with my printer. someone gave me an Ethernet router so i went with that instead so my nephew could use his x-box. but i don`t see why it would`t work. cause your coming thru the router and then hook your printer right to your computer. with your printer hooked to computer ur computer will detect the printer after you run the c.d. for the printer
