pixma 7720

[fshcake]

Hi, I have a pixma 7720. I have spent hours on the phone with your support and the router support throuh ATT. This printer is getting worse and worse. My router is literally 5 ft from the printer and the printer refuses to wirelessly connect. The tech support was convinced that it was the router however ATT replaced my router at my request. Which clearly made no sense, to them or to me for that matter because my Samsung smart tv connects fine to the wireless router, Ipad, 4 Iphones, 4 dell laptops, and they all have no problem connecting to the router from anywhere in the house and my driveway. So if someone can please make me understand why this printer, the most expensive printer I have ever bought, cannot connect wirelessly, I appreciate it. I am so frustrated. The last Cannon tech I spoke with managed to get it to connect through my laptop with the software that came with the printer. Now it will take more than 15 minutes to connect and the laptop has to be directly beside it. Something has to be wrong with the connectivity of that printer. Its barely 6 months old and it is steadily becoming more and more difficult to use. Please help,

Thanks,

Sherrie Smith
