C1765NFW direct wireless connection problem
try as I might I just can't get this printer to connect wirelessly to my laptop. I'm not on a network and don't have a router, it's just my wireless laptop and the printer.
I've tried the "Easy Install" software but it asks for a network :/
I've got it working via USB but that's not why I bought the printer...
help ?
thanks

Hello TOASTEDBLUE,
Thank you for posting to the forum. This printer is designed primarily for an infrastructure based network, meaning having the use of a router or wireless access point. That being so there is a method to use it wireless without those items. You will need to set the unit to work by ad-hoc. This is a little advanced setup so I would only recommend it if your comfortable with configuring it. Please review the information within the user guide linked below.
