    •
    Check that the printer and the access point are located within the wireless connectivity range with
    no obstacles between them.
    •
    Check if the distance between the printer and the access point is not too far.
    If they are too far, move them closer together (within 164 ft./50 m).
    •
    Check that there is no barrier or obstacle between the printer and the access point.
    In general, connection performance decreases for communications through walls or between
    different floors. Adjust the locations to avoid such situations.
    •
    Check that there are no sources of radio interference near the printer and the access point.
    The wireless connection may use the same frequency band as microwave ovens and other sources of radio interference. Try to keep the printer and the access point away from such sources.
    •
    Check if the radio channel of the access point is close to that of other access points nearby.
    If the radio channel of the access point is close to that of other access points nearby, the
    connection performance may become unstable. Be sure to use a radio channel that does not
    interfere with other access points.
    •
    Check that the printer and the access point face each other.
    Connection performance may depend on the orientations of the wireless devices. Replace the access point and the printer in another direction to achieve the best performance.
