Dell V515W manual Make Sure The Wireless Port Is Selected

MAKE SURE BIDIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATION IS ENABLED

•Temporarily turn off any unnecessary wireless devices on your network and pause any network-intensive activities, like large file transfers or network games. If the network is too busy, it is possible that the printer is not receiving the IP address within the allowed time.

•Make sure your DHCP server, which may also be your wireless router, is working and is configured to assign IP addresses. If you are not sure how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your wireless router for more information.

If the printer and computer have valid IP addresses and the network is operation correctly, continue troubleshooting.
