Try disconnecting from any network before starting the setup program?

I can only connect by Direct Connection as I dont use a router.Why is the Direct Connection option not available? Thanks</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><IMG src="https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/7585i19F5BCAD9BC0810B/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&amp;px=-1" border="0" alt="untitled.JPG" title="untitled.JPG" /></P> Fri, 26 Jun 2015 22:37:46 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Printer-Software-Networking/problem-with-connecting-MG5650-by-Wifi-to-pc-by-Direct/m-p/144609#M8890 shane55 2015-06-26T22:37:46Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Printer-Software-Networking/problem-with-connecting-MG5650-by-Wifi-to-pc-by-Direct/m-p/146129#M8891 From what I've seen, it won't let you select direct connection if you are currently connected to any sort of wifi because it assumes you dont need it.
