Hello,

 

I'm sorry to see wireless issues with your new printer. Have you followed the steps to connect your printer with the wireless setup wizard?

 

If your printer disconnects from your wireless network, if you changed your Internet service provider, or you purchased a new router, use the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer to reconnect. You do not need to reinstall the driver to complete the wireless setup.
  1. From the home screen on the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Wireless icon .
  2. Touch the Setup icon .
  3. Touch Wireless Settings, and then touch Wireless Setup Wizard.
    Figure : Wireless Settings display

  4. Touch the name of your network in the list of available networks, and then touch OK.
    Figure : Example of network names
    Image: Network names
  5. If the list does not contain your network name, touch Enter New Network Name, and then follow the on-screen instructions to enter your network name.
  6. If prompted, type the WEP or WPA key (network password), and then touch Done.
    A summary screen displays. Touch OK to return to the home screen.
     NOTE:
    If a connection error message displays, make sure you typed the uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters for the network name and password exactly. Follow the prompts to type the information again.

If you have already tried using the wireless setup wizard, then perhaps start troubleshooting with this document:
