Checking your network name
Make sure your network does not have the same name as another network near you. For example, if you and your
neighbor both use a manufacturer's default network name, your printer could be connecting to your neighbor's
network.
If you are not using a unique network name, consult the documentation for your wireless access point (wireless
router) to learn how to set a network name.
If you set a new network name, you must reset the printer and computer SSID to the same network name.
