Change WiFi Location

By default, Wi-Fi location is not set to your own country. Mine is set to GB (Great Britain) while I am in France.

This can be disturbing in some cases because not all countries use the same Wi-Fi frequencies.

Only make these changes if you are experiencing stability issues with your printer's Wi-Fi.

Note

This procedure must be repeated after restoring the printer to factory settings or if you update the firmware.

Configuration

  • Connect to SSH (Guide is available here).

  • Enter the following command to check all available locations:

    cat /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab

  • Locate the two letters specific to your location in the list that appears.

  • On the left part of the window, go to the /usr/data/ folder and right-click on the wpa_supplicant.conf file then select Open with default text editor:

  • In the new editing window that appears, modify the country line by replacing the two letters corresponding to your location, like this:

  • Then click on Save file button on the top:

  • And confirm the file replacement by clicking Yes button:

  • On the right part of the window, in SSH command prompt, enter this command to reboot your printer:

    reboot

  • After restarting, the printer's Wi-Fi will be set to your own country.
