I want tochange my printer from WIFI to wired

Some printers switch automatically when hardwired into an ethernet port.  Other printers can use both Wi-Fi and network.  For printers with USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi you would have to look at the manual to verify what works or not.

If you have USB and Wi-Fi and not ethernet then you need to use a USB print server.

You can use a USB print server.  They are not plug and play.  Be sure to check ratings and get one that has good documentation and support.

The print server is designed to connect to the modem or router.  You will need to program it.  Get the type with an ethernet connector.

For general help for new router or printer please refer to this article in our printer database.

Please provide the exact model name of the printer for better assistance as I may be able to find videos to show how to connect or fix the problem. A printer can be a PRO or a PLUS or have the letter 'e' after the number and that can make a big difference. Some printers with the same number ID could be a LaserJet, Deskjet, or Officejet.
