Do I need Ethernet cable to hook this up wirelessly?

No you don't. There is a procedure in the book that will tell you what to do. You can get help from the manufacture also.

You don't need a cable to connect to the WiFi. The printer will scan for any WiFi signals, you just choose yours and put in your WiFi password and that's it.
241278
Nope, but you may have to manually enter the IP address if your printer is saying offline.

You don't need an Ethernet cable if you have wireless capability from a router or access point.
241280
No, you do not. Just follow the instructions they give you. They worked for me easily, but if you have problems, please follow up!

No you do not need the ethernet cable, everything is wireless with the exception of faxing in which you will need a phone line going the back of this printer. Hope this help

No, you'd only need an ethernet cable to connect physically to your router/switch/access point. If you're using wireless, it will find your router during printer setup. No cable necessary...

At first I didn't. But now it is directly connected to my laptop because the WiFi will not connect. My advice is stay away from this machine. You will be sorry you wasted your time, effort, and money on it. Its CRAP

You could always pick up an ethernet to wireless bridge. I'm not sure you would save any money and it would probably be more difficult to hook-up. However, that's an option. I have a wired router hooked up to my entertainment center and it works great.

I have another computer in the living room, that has a dsl box hooked up to it, and the one in my bedroom has no dsl box, only this USB adaptor hooked to it, and I get the signals from my dsl box from it, to have internet in my bedroom. You don't have to have the ethernet cable hooked onto the one the adaptor is hooked into because of the wireless signals. I'm not all that computer savvy to explain it any other way, hope this helps.

no this is a modem that connects to a router u will need a wireless router. you would connect the cable to the modem than run a ethernet cable from the modem to your wireless router, then from there another eternet cable to your computer

No. You'll need to purchase a USB to Ethernet dongle if you need an Ethernet port on this machine. We've done this and it works great, but detracts slightly from the convenience and appearance of the machine.

If you are highly tech-savvy you might be able to. You can contact the vendor for help. I ran Ethernet cables for both of mine because we had trouble getting a wireless connection to work reliably.

It must be connected to the router via cable, but if you dont have or dont want to extend ethernet cables you can install a wifi extender near your receiver and connect the receiver to the extender by ethernet, i did that

Yes. You need to have wifi or to connect it to a router with an ethernet cable.

There is an Ethernet connection socket on the back. It isn't wireless (it's a desktop unit). Having said that, I bought/installed a USB wireless network adapter on the 2 units bought due to difficulties in running cable.

You have to use the cable supplied...it isn't wireless. The cable supplied has different connectors on each end.

No , you need to run a sepret Ethernet cord . One of the best cords is a cat 6

It has to be hardwired or use with a Ethernet bridge. There are no wireless drivers built into it.

As long as you have WiFi, yes. If all you have is a wired router, then no. You need WiFi since this has no physical ethernet port.

it has an Ethernet port but if you want to do wireless you need to buy an adapter

Yes, there is an Ethernet connection. There was not a card for wireless connection with a router.CordiallyJohn

If I'm understanding correctly, you're asking if this is the only thing you'd need to have wireless? Technically no, since it has to be paired up with a modem.

It is wireless with the wireless usb "dongle" that will pick up the signal. Ethernet is an option, but I never had to use it.
