LaserJet Pro 400 color M451dn

I have used my printer wirelessly by have Ethernet connection between printer and Apple airport router. I'm moving and can I use printer wirelessly without direct connection to router? (Printer & router in new place will not be near each other so the direct cable connection will not be convenient). Thank you!

Hello @Cary2

 

Not possible this is a M451dn D stands for duplex N for network (wired network) only the M451dw will have the option to have the wireless on 

 

The printer must have a wired network connection to the internet at all times 

Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I can't find anything that says that is a wireless printer.  However, you can still use Ethernet connections.

 

Just use Powerline Adapters.  Converts your house wiring in to Ethernet so your printer can be anywhere.  Try here.
