Signal strength
My Epson printer reports weak wi-fi signal and indicater network corruption.
My appartment is about 75 m2 and the distance between printer and router is about 5-6 metres through a reinforced concrete wall.
Router is 1m above, floor and printer is 0,5 m above floor.
The printer does work.
Please advise
a lot is probably related to where you live. If there's a bunch of wireless interference (which apartments tend to have from other tenants) and your printer is limited to 2.4ghz, you probably won't have a great connection. 2.4ghz is a congested band and its made worse in apartment living.
You can try optimizing what band you're on. It might help.
Or you could hardwire in the printer.
Nice thing is that printers don't tend to need a lot of bandwidth for recieving documents as they tend to be small size.
