HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdn Wireless Solution

Nikob · ‎02-12-2021

For the longest time I needed wireless capabilities for the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M479fdn. My router was on the first floor and my printer was on the second floor, so I couldn't run an ethernet cable to the router.

But i was able to get a WiFi extender with an Ethernet port. I plugged the wifi extender in the room where the printer was, and ran a 4ft ethernet cable from printer to wifi extender and problem solved.

Seen many people struggle with same issue, hope this helps someone.

That is a good solution. Another option would be to purchase a pair of powerline ethernet adapters if wireless coverage is a problem or someone does not want to use wireless in their house.
