Setting up the Dell Wireless Printer Adapter 3300 should help you walk through the process. Are you using a different SSID? Password is at least 13 characters long? If it doesn't connect, try connecting it to your neighbor network, fake a password, it will fail, then try your own network and it should connect.
I reinstalled all the drivers and the printer will work if I hardwire it to my computer. When i try to set up my 3300 adapter, I get the error msg that my adapter is unable to join the network. I verified all my security keys and everything matches. I then tried to connect to my neighbours and then again to mine and still no dice.
Yes, i talked to dell support and we followed everything here, still not working. I called Dell support and they were not helpful. Is the adapter out of date? I have had it for awhile.
The Dell 3300 wireless print adapter has to connect to in the G mode. If you have the router set for N mode, the wireless print adapter will not connect.

BlueVest,
Are you using these Recommended Wireless Router Settings, I use channel 11.

Hi Rick
I reinstalled all the drivers and the printer will work if I hardwire it to my computer. When i try to set up my 3300 adapter, I get the error msg that my adapter is unable to join the network. I verified all my security keys and everything matches. I then tried to connect to my neighbours and then again to mine and still no dice.
Any other suggestions?

Firewall turned off in the wireless router? Some wireless routers have firewall settings I have mine turned off.
