Heck yeah, 2 panel 6-0 x 6-8 double pane patio doors can really put the hurt on ya without the right tool. It's called a shoulder dolly and it keeps us from breaking body parts.

What's a seacan? Not a term I'm familiar with.

Edit: nevermind, a "sea can", got it.

So Surprise Surprise! I all most get thru the whole setup & there in the trouble shooting section plain as day, only works on 2.4 GHz
Stupid Kid there at the office depot, ya ya all the new one's work on 5GHz!
Now I have to return it after work tomorrow

Now I'm back were I started not knowing for sure witch printer will work on the 5 GHz setting on my Modem/Router

This is the problem with too many technology's They don't play well together

If your new printer has a wired connection, you may have to connect your 5 GHZ wireless printer to your router direct. All your wired and wireless connections should still be able to connect to it. Just a thought.

Thanks for the reply The new one I got does Not have a wired port either.
I liked that it has ink tanks instead of cartridges, but none of that matters if I cant use my Modem/ Router in 5GHz. I'l start a new search & make sure the one I choose has a wired port just incase

So just what model wireless router do you have? I've been looking at some new ones and they are all dual or tri band.
When I set up mine (an Apple) I thought at first it was only single band but then I finally located the settings, it was a couple years old when I got it.
Where I work I "acquire" stuff quite regularly. (discarded by the residents, they are rich folks)

Does that mean only one or the other band?

 

[dwcraig1]

I have down loaded the manual and it appears that it is one band or the other but not both.

Now that I have fixed the slow WiFi issue, I can't go back! I have to find away to get a printer to work. I like our router & hate my old printer, so a new router is not really an option
I'm going to try and find a printer with a wired connection, So if I cant get 5GHz on Wi Fi I can wire it in

 

[dwcraig1]

At work I have a wireless router in my office that I ran a cable to another wireless router in another location. I could probably come up with the link for the directions on how to configure it. You could run 2.4 off your old one and add a new 5 ghz router. It was real easy

Pick your printer and download the manual from the comfort of your chair.

I thought about that, but that has me buying another router & still replacing our old printer. There has to be away I can just get a new printer & still keep my router running at 5GHZ.

Part of me wishes I had your problem, part of me is damn glad I don't because they'd be charging me even more! I'm use to what I've had for years so for me it's all a non-issue, it is what it is.

As good as it gets here (ETA: That's cable direct to modem, not wifi), just a year ago 15MB was the best you could hope for, but since we've had upgrades! Wooo wee!! $200 a month gets you this, a "free" to use DVR and 180 TV channels, about 10 of them are worth watching.... No HBO or anything like that.

I feel like Kevin Bacon grabbing my ankles, Thank You Sir, may I have another.

I have a Workforce 520, must be at least 5 years old. I use nothing but Ebay ink carts, maybe $15 for enough to change twice plus a couple extra blacks.
