SCX-4500W

Hello and thank you for your help in advance,
we are very happy with our senior Laser Printer working great via usb-cable. But since it would be much easier and comfortable to not crawl over and search for the cable to plug in, I recently decided to give it another try to make the wireless function work.

I found some people with the same problem and some solutions but none working for me.

Whether via Easy Wireless Setup (the program says this printer doesn't support wireless) nor with syncthru (the wireless options seem to be missing in this firmware).

Thank you for your time and help.

As it does not show, I would think that either it was never connected properly or it has failed. On older printers the wireless was often a separate module that connected to the main board by a cable or a socket right on the board. I would take the side panel off  and confirm all cables are seated
