## **Section 1: Understanding Wireless Connectivity**
Before starting the setup, it’s crucial to understand the types of wireless connections available:
1. **Infrastructure Mode (Recommended):**
The printer connects directly to your Wi-Fi network through a router. Devices connected to the same network can print without a cable.
2. **Wi-Fi Direct (Ad-hoc Mode):**
The printer creates its own network, and devices connect directly to it. This is useful if no wireless router is available, but it limits connectivity to one device at a time.
**Tip:** Always choose **infrastructure mode** for home or office networks because it provides better flexibility, stability, and supports multiple devices. **1-866-203-7571**
