Note: Most computers can connect to only one wireless network at a time. -
Page 77: How Are Infrastructure And Ad Hoc Networks Different
Continue following the on-screen instructions. How are infrastructure and ad hoc networks different? Wireless networks can operate in one of two modes: infrastructure or ad hoc. In infrastructure mode, all devices on a wireless network communicate with each other through an access point (wireless router). -
Page 78: How Can I Improve Wireless Signal Strength
How can I improve wireless signal strength? A common reason wireless printers fail to communicate over a network is poor wireless signal quality. If the signal is too weak, too distorted, or blocked by an object, it cannot carry information between the access point and the printer. - Page 79 How can I make sure my computer and printer are connected to the same wireless network? If the printer is not on the same wireless network as the computer, then you will not be able to print wirelessly. The SSID of the printer must match the SSID of the computer, if the computer is already connected to the wireless network. For Windows users Obtain the SSID of the network that the computer is connected to: Type the IP address of your access point (wireless router) in the address field of your Web browser.

Page 81: How Do I Find The Mac Address
Routers with security capabilities may allow filtering of MAC addresses on networks. This allows a managed list of devices to access the network, identified by their MAC addresses, as well as prevent access from unwanted devices. If your network uses MAC address filtering, then be sure to add the MAC address of the printer to the list of allowed devices. -
Page 82: How Do I Locate Ip Addresses
What is TCP/IP? Networks are able to function because computers, printers, and other devices are able to send data to each other, either through cables or by using wireless signals. This transfer of data is made possible by sets of data transmission rules called protocols. - Page 83 What is a key index? A wireless access point (wireless router) can be configured with as many as four WEP keys. Only one key is used on the network at a time, however. The keys are numbered, and the number of a key is referred to as its key index. All devices on the wireless network must be configured to use the same key index when multiple WEP keys are configured on the wireless access point.
