no wifi on printer solved
I have an Epson printer which works well ,or it did up to yesterday or day before.
Normally the printing is done wirelessly from computer to printer but suddenly the printer didn't get a wifi signal but the computer did.
first thing was to reset the printer with the router password but didn't work. Tried doing it using the printer self seek setting, still didnt work. So on to trying everything on printer and computer but still no wifi on the printer.
a real head scratcher problem, do I get a new printer? actually ordered one then found the problem so cancelled it.
The issue was not with the printer or the computer it was the damn router. Normally others are on the internet so turning off the router causes problems. Tonight I was the only one using it so switched off the router for 10 seconds and powered it back on.
The router somehow had dropped out the signal to the printer but not to the computer, must have been a slight difference in signal receiving strength or summit.
So if this happens to you check the router out first
