Are network settings of your smartphone/tablet identical with those of

Make sure the network settings of the <span class="other_ui">printer</span> (e.g. network name (SSID) or
network key password) are identical with those of the wireless router.
To check the settings of your smartphone/tablet, refer to the instruction manual provided with it.

Check 5
Make sure the printer is not placed too far away from the wireless router.
If the distance between the printer and wireless router is too far, wireless communication becomes poor. Place
the printer and wireless router close to each other.
Check 6
There may be a problem with the signal. Monitor signal status and move
printer and wireless router as necessary.
Place the printer and wireless router where there are no obstacles between them. Wireless communication
between different rooms or floors is generally poor. Wireless communication can be impeded by building
materials containing metal or concrete. If the printer cannot communicate with the computer over a Wi-Fi due
to a wall, place the printer and the computer in the same room.
In addition, if a device like a microwave oven that emits radio waves of the same frequency bandwidth as a
wireless router is nearby, it may cause interference. Place the wireless router as far away from interference
sources as possible.
