A reliable network setup prevents unnecessary reprints and replacement of printers that still work.

We focus on updates, optimal placement of the box/router, and ink-saving settings.

Wi-Fi, Ethernet or shared USB: which to choose?

The right choice depends on your home’s layout, the number of devices and the desired stability.

Wi-Fi printer

Pros

No cables, flexible placement, smartphone compatible.

Cons

Sensitive to interference, variable speed depending on box and walls.

Ethernet printer

Pros

Very stable, fast, ideal for several PCs or an office.

Cons

Requires a cable or a free port on the box/switch.

Shared USB printer

Pros

Budget solution if the printer has no Wi-Fi.

Cons

Host PC must stay on; scanning sometimes limited.

When possible, choose Ethernet for stability. On Wi-Fi, use a single 2.4/5 GHz SSID, a strong password and, if possible, a fixed IP for the printer.

Common problems (FAQ)

Check power and connection (Wi-Fi or cable), restart the box and printer, then print a configuration page. We can set a fixed IP and reinstall the correct drivers.
Wi-Fi is convenient, Ethernet is more stable. In houses with thick walls or for heavy multi-computer use, Ethernet is recommended. Otherwise, Wi-Fi with good box placement and fixed IP.
Yes via a host PC (Windows/macOS) or a small USB print server. Scanning may be limited depending on the model. We install and test the best solution.

Installation, sharing and print tests

When possible, choose Ethernet for stability. On Wi-Fi, use a single 2.4/5 GHz SSID, a strong password and, if possible, a fixed IP for the printer.
