Floors

HERE ARE TOO MANY DEVICES ON THE WIRELESS NETWORK
A wireless device will communicate on the network only when no other device is communicating. Too many
computers, printers, and other wireless devices can cause a wireless network to be so busy that a new device is
unable to send or receive information.
•
Adding another access point can help resolve this issue.
•
Configure the printer for the network, manually entering all network information. The printer may work properly
after it is configured for the network.
•
Try turning off a few wireless devices to reduce network traffic.
