How to reset wireless on Dell 3130cn
Hi, I changed my wireless router out - and need to reset my wifi settings in the printer. I re-initialized the wireless settings, but am not getting prompted for a wifi settings screen. I have the original install CD, and re-ran setup, but it does not prompt for wifi like this page says it should ==> http:// www.dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/604110_de/en
I can install it with a usb cable, but cannot get to wifi settings. Please help. Thanks.

Thanks for the pointer Jessie - that helped. I followed the manual and ran the setup with a usb cable connected to the printer. Clicking on the "how to install options" led to the ability to configure the wireless.
Then, I had to figure out the wireless capabilities on the printer are old, and couldn't join the wireless network with the more modern encryption standards. I had to back the Wireless LAN encryption down, so the printer could join.
After that, it worked great.
Thanks for your help!
