What should I do if the desired network SSID is not displayed when setting up the wireless network using the Setup Wizard?

 

If the desired network SSID is not displayed on the LCD display screen, check the following points.

 

  • Make sure that the wireless access point/router is powered on.

  • Move your machine to an area with no items which obstruct the wireless network signal, such as metal doors or walls, or closer to the wireless access point/router.

  • Temporarily place your machine within about 1 m (3.3 feet) from the wireless access point when you are configuring the wireless settings.

  • If your wireless access point/router is using MAC address filtering, confirm the MAC address of this machine is allowed in the filter. For more information, you should see the documentation provided with your wireless access point/router, or consult the router manufacturer, your system administrator, or internet provider.
     

If the desired network SSID is not still displayed on the LCD display screen, follow the steps below to add the SSID (Network Name), Network Key (Password), Authentication method and Encryption method manually.

 

Before setting up the wireless network, you must know your wireless network settings of the WLAN access point/router.
Check and record the current wireless network settings below.

SSID   
Network Key (Password)   
Authentication method

If you don't know your wireless settings of your WLAN access point/router, refer to How to find the Network Name (SSID) and Network Key (Password)?.
