Does this router connect to wireless printers quickly?

Yes , it is all down to the printer but I use it with two and they both work instantly. Most delays seem to come from using I Pads to print but thats not the fault of the router.

Yes. When you plug the router in and connect it to your home network, everything on the network connects automatically.

In the span of minutes, the NETGEAR N75 Router connected to all of the electronics on my network. Needless to say, I am extremely happy with its performance.

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.

If you lack a wireless router you can connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, or to a wired network with an Ethernet cable. And, of course, it supports the earlier wireless "B" and "G" standards if you have an older wireless router which doesn't support "N".

Yes, it is called the print share mode, and with this you select your printer you have via WiFi. I have a Canon and an HP hooked up to my router.

The answer depends on whether the printer is connected directly to your PC or if the printer is on a network. The network speed will be a major factor in the printing speed.

If your printer is going to be located near your computer it doesn't matter if the router is wired or wireless. However if the printer is located away from your computer , as mine is, you need a wireless router.

Can someone tell me if the 8500 wireless has to be physically connected to a wireless router in order to receive wireless print projects?

No. You can hook it up to a wireless router and access it that way. It's an excellent printer. I little noisy, but the print quality and scan quality are the best.

Yes, a wireless printer can be set up as part of the wireless network and it work fine.

This printer does not have the wireless feature. I plug mine directly into a router.

Yes. Wifi is just the "middle-man" from the device your printing from and your printer. Your wifi router (this TP-LINK wireless router) doesn't have specific drivers, etc for each thing that can connect to it, it just works. What you need to make sure of is if the computer, tablet, or whatever you're printing from is compatible with your printer (and since it's Epson I'm sure it does).

I'm pretty sure it did, it's been a while. But want to warn you it has constant issues with syncing up via wireless. Every time I want to print something wireless I have to shut it off and turn it back on, reboot it essentially. I would seek out a newer model if I were you. It's quite annoying. Hope that helped!

It's not a printer, it's a router. It is capable of connecting all wireless devices, but specific settings for printing from your iPad are irrelevant to this hardware.

No. Connects either by USB or Ethernet network. By the way, great printer. I only print about 1,000 page a month, but it is well worth the investment. Beautiful color, crisp B&W.; I would buy it again in a minute. Works perfect with aftermarket toner at 80% lower cost than Xerox toner.

Yes but it will only use one connection method at a time. As long as the printer is on the network it shouldn't matter.

This printer has a network card so that it can be connected by wire to the internet through your router. Your computer can then communicate with it through your router.

I use mine wireless from my laptop, but I access it through my home network, as the printer is connected to my desktop computer. It isn't set up to go wireless in the modern sense. Also, I have experienced issues when not all the computers in the network are on the same version of windows. If it were a modern wireless printer you wouldn't have these types of issues. It's an older model, but it is a WORKHORSE of a printer, it's duty cycle rating is FIFTY THOUSAND pages per month!I don't believe I will ever wear this printer out, which is OK because I love it!
