Hello. 

I have this laser printer, that i am very happy with. 

But the problem is that i really like that my phone and laptop can use 5GHZ hotspot - BUT i cant get my printer to recognize this 5GHZ network. 

My printer only recognizes 2.4GHZ Wifi hotspot. 

Is there any way that i can connect this printer to 5GHZ or maybe another way wirelessly? 

 

I dont like cables. 🙂

 

Hope anyone can help. 🙂

The 178nw supports both 2,4 and 5 GHz wireless bands but uses different toner cartridges.
