Hi,

 

First of all move it away from the router abit. Setting it to close doesnt always help improve the signal, it can actually cause a poor signal. 

 

Next reset the network seeting on the unit by doing this: Press and hold the cancel button and then press the wireless button. LEt both buttons go and the unit should reset to network defaults.

A few seconds should be enough, and first press the cancel button, then press the wireless button, just make sure you release them at the same time.

Thats the only way i know, but as its not connected have you tried connecting it to the network again? Try for example to connect a notebook to the pritner by using the wifi network search on the notebook. You should find the printer and be able to directly connect the notebook to the printer.
