❏ Example of connecting to different SSIDs
❏ Example of connecting to SSIDs with a different frequency range
A privacy separator on the wireless router is available.
Solutions
Most wireless routers have a separator function that blocks communication between devices within the
same SSID. If you cannot communicate between the printer and the computer or smart device even if
they are connected to the same network, disable the separator function on the wireless router. See the
manual provided with the wireless router for details.
The IP address is incorrectly assigned.
Solutions
If the IP address assigned to the printer is 169.254.XXX.XXX, and the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, the IP
address may not be assigned correctly.
Select Settings > General Settings > Network Settings > Advanced on the printer's control panel, and
then check the IP address and the subnet mask assigned to the printer.
Restart the wireless router or reset the network settings for the printer.
