I have exactly the same problem now. But for three first months it was working perfectly fine.

I had the same problem because it was set to best photo printing, I couldn't change the settings but i found that restoring default settings fixed the problem. I chose not to change wifi setting since I didn't want to undo wireless printing.

Aloha Carmen, this Canon BT adapter is one of the very 1st EARLY 1.0 versions, and even "if" it did, I would Never, Ever recommend it, as it did not function properly, was always losing BT signal, and was way tooooo slooooow. Btw, my Canon MX850 just died luckily I had an almost brand new Epson WorkForce 645, you know that was featured on the movie, 'Girl With the Dragon Tattoo'? I haven't yet set-up the Wireless Coverage, but, I would recommend the App Airprint, as I just set it up for my Biz patner, and it really Rocks! LMK, if you need any other options. aloha, DM

I was able to resolve connectivity issue with wired connection. My printer connected to my router using ethernet cable. I couldn't connect printer to router wireless even after two hours with Samsung support. Also I have to use Samsung Easy printer manager on each of my computers every time I turn off/on my router. I know it is problem with router, not with a printer. I still recommend this printer for anyone who consider it.

Should be able to get manual on line at Canon site. You will generally need printer cable to set up. After set up you can remove cable once wifi is setup. Of course you need some type of wifi router.

Canon states that this unit does not support wireless. We have ours connected to a Mac with USB.

I have mx-360 non-wireless not mx-350 wireless. I could not find canon tech support phone number in manual but you should be able to find it at canon.com. good luck!

I had exactly the same issue. I have bought a female RJ45 connector and tried to fix it, but the cable on the camera has a none standard color code and no where to find wiring information. After two nights of frustration try to make it work I finally gave it up. Another whole night search a replacement camera from Zmodo ends nothing. They seems no longer make this kind of camera (wired PoE IP). What a disappointment. Now I have to rearrange the remaining three cameras and leave some area uncovered.

My router started doing the same thing - random signal drops for a short period, but enough to lose printer and scanner connections.Suggest you call their 800# - sorry don't have it on me - you should have received a welcome email from Mediabridge with the #. They'll arrange for you to get a replacement unit. They stand behind their product - good people. That said, if my next unit has the same issues we'll be having a money-back conversation! Good luck.

Try plugging the SD card into a computer, and see if it works, sometimes, there are cameras that won't provide enough current for the WiFi inside the card to properly work

Wireless can be flaky. Reset power to both wireless router and camera whlie they are close in proximity. Try to access the camera again. If unsuccessful, you may have to temporarily use a cable, then consult the wireless admin screen in the camera. Make sure the channel in the site survey still matches the setting in the camera. When successful with wi-fi, try putting it back where you want it. good luck.

If you switched routers, you're basically on a new network. I would try hooking the printer up USB and re-installing it as a wireless printer, even though you have the cable attached. That usually works. Just follow the prompts for wireless setup via temporary usb. HTH

You will need an Ethernet cable. Why does camera not connect via wifi anymore? I had power issues with my camera and sent it to trendnet for repairs. I have yet to receive it back.
