Hi, this printer does not have any wireless capability, so in order to make it work with a wireless network, you would need a device ilke a wireless bridge or wireless adapter that is compatible with this printer. One wireless bridge I've used on larger Ricoh printers with success is the NetGear WNCE2001.
