THERE ARE TOO MANY DEVICES ON THE WIRELESS NETWORK

A wireless device will communicate on the network only when no other device is communicating. Too many computers, printers, and other wireless devices can cause a wireless network to be so busy that a new device is unable to send or receive information.

•Adding another access point can help resolve this issue.

•Configure the printer for the network, manually entering all network information. The printer may workproperly after it is configured for the network.

•Try turning off a few wireless devices to reduce network traffic.
