Wi-Fi Printers

Note: The recommended way to connect printers to the LAN (local area network) is to use Cat 5 or Cat 6 Ethernet cable. This can be done by directly connecting the printers to the wi-fi router or patching them through the buildings Ethernet network.

If connecting via cable is not possible there are several devices available that can be used to connect printers wirelessly to the network.

Printer can be fitted with a wireless adapter. This is an advantage in situations where it is difficult to connect an Ethernet cable from the printer to the router or if it is likely that the location of the printer will change regularly.
