Hi @royboy8,

 

I'd like to help!

 

To assist better -

 

  1. What device are you using the printer with, a Windows computer, Mac, Android or an iPhone? 
  2. Is the printer connected to home or public network?
  3. What is the status of the wireless light on the printer, steady or blinking?
  4.  I would like to know, is your router set to work on 2.4 GHz network or 5 GHz network band?

 

 Keep me posted.
