Wireless Adapter I am having a very difficult time finding a wireless adapter for my c86 printer. Any suggestions?

You can make your printer WiFi compatible by connecting it to your wireless modem/router using the Ethernet port on the back of the printer, if the printer is located within a reasonable distance from the modem/router. The cost of an Ethernet cable (even a longer one) is probably less than the cost of the wireless adapter (I assume you have not bought the adapter yet).
To find out if the wireless adapter is compatible with your printer, you can call Dell technical support (for the printer or the adapter).

Hope this helps.

1) Install the network adapter on the printer, if necessary. Many wireless printers have the adapter pre-installed, but if this isn't the case, turn off and unplug the printer. Then, remove the back cover on the adapter slot and place the adapter into the slot.

2) Plug in and turn on the printer. Then, insert the drivers CD that came with the printer into the CD drive of the computer. If you've misplaced the CD, the drivers can be downloaded from the website of the printer's manufacturer.

3) Configure the network adapter. Once the drivers installation has loaded, select "Using a wireless network" and then select "Next". Usually, there is a User Agreement at this point, to which you will agree and press "Next".

4) Connect the laptop to the printer using a USB cable. Connect one end into the USB port on the back of the printer and the other end to a free USB port on the computer.

5) Finish configuring the network adapter. After connecting the laptop and printer with the USB cable, select "Create or modify the printer's wireless settings" and then click "Next".

6) Connect the printer to a wireless network. The wireless setup utility will automatically open after the adapter has been configured. Find your wireless network in the "Wireless networks found in your area" and select "Next". Then verify this information on the next screen.

7) Connect the laptop to the printer through the wireless network. Now, disconnect the USB cable. Make sure that both the laptop and printer are connected to your network. If they are, you're now set up.

You may need to update your adapter drivers> Here is a site for Belkin and your adapter:

One way to do it is to "disable" then "enable" the wireless adapter in the Control Panel.

[Start] [Control Panel] [Network Connections]

Find the icon for the wireless adapter and right-click on it.
Select [Disable]
Right-click again and select [Enable]

Please add a comment to let us know if that worked for you.

Bluetooth adapter wil only allow you to print photos wirelessly.

If you want to connect through wi-fi please contact kodak and ask for "SILEX".

IT seems that the wireless connection might not be connected.
if you facing trouble connecting to the wireless network using the wireless adapter utility then you can switch over to windows utility .

I suggest making sure all drivers are updated, Double check your internet connections and set up. Create a home network if needed.

Hi!

Its designed for wireless, but you need an adapter to make it wireless, the adapter
"Dell Wireless Printer Adapter 3310 USB2"

I dont know if that adapter came whit your printer when you bought it, but thats what you need to make it wireless

Good luck

My adapter light is a solid red. When I plug in an ethernet cord, that'll connect.. but when I take the ethernet cable out, the 360 always reports Disconnected under Network Adapter even though the wireless adapter is plugged in.
