I am trying to print from my laptop to my Epson Printer.  It will not work on one of documents or from the internet.  The Epson prints out the following: A router/access point channel conflict has been detected - improve your wireless network enviroment.  My router is sitting beside my printer and laptop.  The green WiFi light on the front of the printer is on.  I have no problems using my Ipad in the other room.  So what does the printout mean ?

    Yes, how DOES one do this?  I'm having the same problem.  I can print many items, but what I can't print is an excel doc from Skydrive.  Any help would be appreciated!!!

    I had the same problem but changing the channel did not work (I tried all 11 channels on my linksys router). After many frustrating hours trying to find a solution, I finally got an Epson tech on the phone. BTW the number is 562-276-4382. press 1, then 1 again for wifi issues. To make a very long explanation short, the bottom line was that the install CD that came with my Epson printer does not work for all laptops/pcs/routers (everything else worked except wifi). Therefore, the solution was to delete that file from my laptop and download the one for my all-in-one printer from the Epson web site. After that, wifi worked fine.

    On your router web page (see your router documentation) find and click  Wireless  > Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) .

    Things can be named differently.

    Find a button "Start PBS". Click it. Within 2 minutes in your printer in the "set up" section find and click "WI-FI Network Settings" -> "WI-FI Setup" -> "Push Button Setup (WPS)". Select it and click/execute it.

    Again, things might be named differently.

    The printer should set up/register with the network and come back to the main menu.

    If the router web page still shows some progress/progress window, simply close it.

    You should be okay after it.
