MAXIFY MB2720 - unable to detect home Wi-Fi...PLEASE HELP!!!!!

[Sneaky3]

I am trying to setup my Maxify MB2720 for my new semester, but the printer is unable to access my home wifi since I have moved. When I go into the setup settings the name of my router appears (it requires a password) but the printer doesn't give me an option to input the password, rather it gives me the run of the mill error message. I have tried resetting ALL the printers settings...twice (didn't notice a change anywhere) and also reseting my router (again no change). I start classes this Firday, and I moved into my new place yesterday. Due to my new desk my printer is nowhere near enough to plug in the printer cord (from printer to PC) so I need to be able to print wirelessly. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi Sneaky3,

You'll need to log into your router to confirm/verify what bands and encryption standards it's configured for (supports).  There you can give your broadcasting networks unique names and/or temporarily disable the other networks the printer is not able to connect to.  You can also verify the encryption standard each band is using.  WPA3, WPA2 or mixed WPA3/WPA2.  This can simplify making a  connection.  Then re-enable them. It only has to be done once.  It's not necessary in every case, but it does reduce the number of variables while troubleshooting.

I'm glad it helped.  In the future please start your own thread so your questions and request can receive the visibility it deserves.  It's also not possible to mark a post as "solved" unless it's your own.  This is helpful for those helping as well us others searching for solutions.  🙂. Thanks for your understanding.
