Note: If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and 5
GHz) mode. See your router documentation for instructions.
• Verify that your router or access point is operating correctly by connecting to it from your computer or
another device.
• You may need to disable the firewall and any anti-virus software on your wireless router or access
point.
• Check to see if access restrictions, such as MAC address filtering, are set on the router or access
point. If access restrictions are set, add your scanner's MAC address to your router's address list. To
obtain your scanner's MAC address, check the label on the back of your scanner. Then follow the
instructions in your router or access point documentation to add the address to the list.
• If your router or access point does not broadcast its network name (SSID), follow the instructions that
came with your scanner to enter your wireless network name manually.
• If your router or access point has security enabled, determine the kind of security it is using and any
required password or passphrase for connection. Then make sure to enter the exact WEP key or WPA
passphrase correctly.
• Check if your computer is restricting the available wireless channels. If so, verify that your wireless
access point is using one of the usable channels and change to a usable channel, if necessary.
• If you connected your scanner to a Windows computer using a direct Wi-Fi connection and it
automatically selected Access Point Mode, you may have trouble accessing a low-priority Internet
connection. Check the network connection or adapter settings in the Windows Control Panel and set
the
Internet metric setting to 100 for your version of the Internet Protocol.
• The scanner may not be able to communicate with a computer with multiple network interfaces.
Disable all network interfaces except for the interface connected to the scanner.
• Enable the DHCP function on the access point or router.
• Check that the scanner's IP address is set correctly.
