wireless install issue? Anybody with similar experience?

I just received this printer and have a company coming to my home to set it up on Monday. I have done some online research and found many people have trouble with the wireless connection. I have a laptop computer and have wireless internet via ATT Uverse "2Wire" modem. I found this answer when I did a search online: "I had the same problems with a 2Wire router from AT&T. I simply found the router and selected "open system" and then chose the WEP encryption and entered the key. The printer immediately connected to the router." Evidently using "shared" instead of "open" is the problem.

Call them. The number is in the instructions. They are very helpful and will walk you through the process of setting up the wireless feature. It works like a dream and well worth the trouble.

I have had mine a week also --- had it hooked up once only took 5 hours. Then I unplugged it to put it where I was to used it and haven't been able to get it up and running wirelessly since. Had the same issue with hp4680 which I sent back for this one and now I am sending this one back. NOTHING should be this hard ....glad you haven't had any issues because it is very frustrating when you do. I have Vista 64bit and I don't think it works so good with it.

I bought this for my wife. It went straight to wifi and seems to run fine. What kind of trouble are you having? I will help if I can

Thank you for the question. This computer will not have any wireless device installed. You would have to purchase a USB wireless device or internal network card and install, they are not included as part of the sale.Thank youJason

how new is your wireless? I had problems downloading apps due to an old wireless router.

As far as I know no consistent solution. One rumour of improvement with windows 8.1 and new driversOnly USB wifi adapter seems to be definitiveSony accepted my computer in return within first month after purchase

Yes, I had the same issue. I had to downgrade back to 2.0.1 in order to get it to integrate with my home wifi network. Plus, I had a router that ran 2.4 and 5ghz on the same SSID and I had to give them different names to get this device to work. It's a bit buggy

I am getting this message and am using a Netgear g/n router. Wired is no problem. But I haven't been successful with the wireless yet.

Use another computer to download the wireless drivers (and the rest of the drivers while you're at it). Transfer them over with a flash drive, and install them.

I've done the same. 1 remove the msata wireless, or 2 disable wireless on windows or whatever OS you're using. I've done the latter as I don't want to remove my mobo after screwing it in to my case, and it works.

I had the same problem but it was a wireless router problem. Called the 800 number for the router, was able to reset the router with some assistance and now everything works great.

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.

I saw this same fix described on another site, and I was excited that it appeared I finally had a solution to my problem (which is that the wireless connection works fine on AC power but is spotty at best on battery power). Then when I went in and made this change and tried unplugging the AC, the problem was still there (maybe not quite as bad but still unacceptable). Mine is Vista though, not Linux btw.

Installation via USB on my iMac was not difficult & works fine, but I have not been able to get wireless to work, even though it is supposed to have this capability. There are posts at various forums from others with this problem. But some report no difficulty with wireless. If you definitely want a wireless connection, I would wait until someone posts definitive instructions somewhere.

I assume it's a combined modem/router bought or rented from your ISP. The easiest workaround would be to buy a second wireless router, plug it into a line on the ISP router. You can then setup a wireless network using "your" router.

Glad you got it fixed, but that didn't work for me. Pushing down hard (and holding down) the power button turns it off momentarily so perhaps the defect is in that area and you were able to fix yours by applying pressure while turning on/off the wireless. Would be interested to know if it works for anyone else. I've just gotten used to it being on at this point.
