DYMO LabelWriter Wireless Label Printer, New, 2002150

Overall we are very pleased with all Dymo products we use for our business. The labelwriter wireless printer we purchased most recently prints great, but still have not been able to set up the wireless connectivity. We gave up trying to set up the wireless connection and have it connected like our other standard labelwriters so in hindsight we would probably stick with the standard printers for our next purchase.

I've only had this label maker about a week now, but I've read lots of bad reviews regarding connectivity on this printer. It's not the printer's fault. I think Dymo's installation instructions that are incomplete. Many people will install this printer, expecting to print from their wired computers, to this wireless printer. It won't work, and this is by design - for safety and security reasons. Your router has 3 "zones". The wired "LAN" (Local Area Network) zone, the Wireless LAN or "WLAN", and the "WAN" or Wide Area Network (the internet, for our purposes). Computers and devices in the wired and wireless zones are not aware of each other and cannot communicate with each other without special settings in the router to "bridge the gap" so to speak. After you've connected label printer and made it a part of your wireless network, write down the IP address of the printer. Now Google "how to connect a wireless printer to my (insert Your BRAND and MODEL#) router" to build that bridge. Essentially, the "bridge" will connect the group of IP addresses for computers in the wired LAN, to the specific IP address of the Dymo Wireless printer in the Wireless LAN (WLAN), and direct this traffic to a specific port (usually port 9100). When you add the printer, do it manually. Create a new TCP/IP "port" by entering the IP address of Dymo printer, then install the print drivers after that. You should be done.
