Mike:

Thanks. Is there any assembly drawing for MF452DW? where to look for online!

I tried everything to connect wireless and with wired, still no luck.  When I try wireless or even wired, keep searching for network available, keep going curser round and round, nothing happening.

If you can provide your contact number, I can call after 4:30 pm Houston time or I have coming Friday off, can call you. Mike it will be a great help. Printer was working fine with my Lenovo laptop and Iphones, but now no more. I have not done anything, it just not communication. I tried 2.4Ghz no luck.

Let me get this straight! Do we need a network that does only 2.4G and not both 5G and 2.4G to bring this printer to the network? I have a problem with the M451dw where it keeps dropping off the network. Currently it is connected to a network that supports both 2.4 and 5.

Thank you.

Techy,

Although off topic, I'm happy to clarify.  The printer has a 2.4Ghz radio.  It can only see and communicate with a 2.4Ghz wireless network.  Many router manufacturers use a single SSID name for all broadcasts (dual and tri-band routers) 2.4, 5, 6 and 7G.  The number of bands your router supports depends on brand.  Sometimes devices can have issues connection to a multi-band router that is using thr same SSID name for all broadcasts.  In these cases, you can use one of the following options.  

Give each network a unique name.  Example mynetwork2.4, mynetwork5G, mynetwork6G.  Another option is to temporarily disable the other broadcasts while connecting the printer,  then turn them back on.  This is not always needed but can help if you are troubleshooting a connectivity issue.
