Wireless network compatibility

Your printer contains an IEEE 802.11g wireless print server. Your printer is compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g/n routers that are Wi-Fi certified. If you are having issues with an N router, verify with your router manufacturer that the current mode setting is compatible with G devices, as this setting varies depending on the router brand/model.
