Wi-Fi indicator light is still orange

When the Wi-Fi indicator light is orange, it may indicate that the printer is:

Not configured in infrastructure mode

Waiting to make an ad hoc connection to another wireless device

The printer may be unable to join the network because of interference, its distance from the wireless access point
(wireless router), or until its settings are changed.

These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following:

C

HECK

NETWORK

NAME

Make sure your network does not have the same name as another network near you. For example, if you and your
neighbor both use a manufacturer's default network name, your printer could be connecting to your neighbor's
network.

If you are not using a unique network name, consult the documentation for your wireless access point (wireless
router) to learn how to set a network name.

If you set a new network name, you must reset the printer and computer SSID to the same network name.
