I just bought an Epson WF-3540 3 in 1 printer and evidently it is wireless. I have tried all afternoon to set it up and can't. I don't know what an SSID is or what my network name is or network password. I NEED a printer. What shall I do? Am I going to have to hire a geek to come over here and set it up?
 
Hello and welcome to Tom's Hardware Forums. Normally the printer would offer you a chance to connect to a network it can "See" and you simply enter the security key. That network will have the same SSID - or more simply - name - as the one your computer is connected to.

Everything you need to know about how to find your SSID wireless security key is in our Sticky Post on the subject and here is a link to it. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/38111-18-find-change-wireless-security
