B1165nfw, WiFi card replacement

Is there any way to replace the WiFi card in the B1165nfw printer?  The WPS light continually blinks but I can’t get it to connect to the wireless network.

thanks

acarnack,

If the WPS light is blinking that means the wifi is connected. You may just need to setup the wifi.  You can click the link below to download the online manual for your printer. The manual provides information to setup the wifi to your network. You can also download any drivers,software and firmware for your printer as well from the link.

If you need to replace the wifi card on the printer your can call the Dell Spare Parts Department at 1-877-717-3355 or click the link below.
