Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for the question. Chances are, it's not the printer. Is your router operating on a 5G channel, or 2.4? 5G is faster, but the range is much shorter. Try locating the router at a higher point so that the signal is not blocked by walls or objects. Try connecting the printer on a 2.4 channel, which is generally used by most other WiFi devices appliances in the home. A Wi-Fi signal weakens every time it encounters an obstruction, which happens a lot indoors, thanks to walls, floors, and even the electronic interference caused by appliances.
