TRY ADJUSTING EXTERNAL ANTENNAS

Generally, antennas work best if they are pointing straight up. You may find, however, that reception improves if you experiment with different angles for your printer and/or wireless router (wireless access point) antennas.

REBOOT THE COMPUTER

Turn off and restart the computer.

PING THE WIRELESS ROUTER (WIRELESS ACCESS POINT)
