Hi onewebbie,
I work for Dell's Social Media Team and would like to you help with your question. The Dell B1160w ( 'w' for Wireless) can be setup on both interface, USB and Wireless.
Hi-Speed USB 2.0 (USB Cable is included in printer box)
Wireless 802.11 b/g/n (Features WiFi Direct and WPA)
Hope this helps!!! Write back in case if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Guna Shekar
