Xerox Wireless Network Adapter (497K16750)

I just bought a new Xerox C400 color laser printer & wanted it to be wireless. Since this is a Xerox part, I thought it would be the easiest way to do it. It's tiny: only about 1 1/2" x 1". I removed a small plastic door on the back of the printer & snapped this into the USB slot behind the tiny door I removed –– a plastic clip also snaps into a hole to keep it snugly in place. Then I plugged in a USB cable just below to allow a hardlink, too. I turned on the printer & followed the automatic steps the printer led me through on the printer's control screen. It asked if I wanted to use just wifi or both, so I selected both. It then asked which wireless network was mine & asked my password. After I entered those things, it told me to restart the printer, which I did. Upon restart, I selected a document on my iPhone & told it to print. It asked me to choose the printer I had just set up, which I did, then told it to print. It printed instantly. I then opened a document on my desktop computer & instantly printed that through the USB connection. I then went 60 feet away & easily printed from another desktop computer & another iPhone using wifi! The printer came with all the software preinstalled, so I didn't need to use the CD disc that came with it. It couldn't have been easier! I definitely recommend this product!

Moved my Xerox color laser printer to a new location outside of the reach of the ethernet cable. This wireless adapter allowed me to not run new cables. It plugged right in and saw both the Wi-Fi and the 5G Wi-Fi. I had to configure it through the printer panel, which is not particularly user-friendly but that isn't the fault of the device. It works great so far.

A+

The installation of the WIFI network adapter can be a bit tricky. There are some YouTube videos showing how to install it. The problem is it appears to be connected physically, but the electronic connection to the board may not be fully connected. Once installed, it works well.

I purchased this wifi adapter for my Xerox Versalink C405 because I moved into a new house that didn't have many network wall jacks. It worked fine at first but then I kept getting error messages on the screen that caused me to unplug the printer and plug it back in to get it to print. I've since installed a wired network connection and have had no problems. I'm a few weeks beyond the return period otherwise I would have returned it. I will keep it in my networking parts storage bin if I'm in a bind but don't recommend it because of the problems I encountered.

The Phaser 6510 is tough to beat with all the available settings. Deep down, i think it should have come with WiFi capability in the first place, but the adapter solves that.

This product was easy to install (it literally just snaps into place) and works perfectly in our Xerox VersaLink B605 Multifunction Printer. In fact, before installing this network adapter, all we could really do was make copies and print from USB in our Church Library. Now the rest of the "multi-functions" are unlocked! It pretty much worked right out of the box: turn off the unit, remove the cover plate, plug in the adapter, and turn the unit back on. Then just use the control panel to go into settings, make WiFi the primary connection (default is Ethernet), select the WiFi network and enter the network password to connect. Not perfectly intuitive, but doable for most. There isn't an on-screen guide - you just have to press through the options and figure it out (obviously you need to select the proper network and enter the password, so play around until you find those options). I was able to successfully print right away form both my Windows 10 Laptop and my Android phone. However, I had to go to the Xerox site and download the Xerox Smart Start software (and run it) to get the needed drivers for my PC, and a Xerox plug-in downloaded from google play the first time I printed from my phone. So not seamless, but not too bad. Connecting to the network allowed for two added benefits: a firmware update (which obviously requires a network connection) AND finally getting the unit to stop printing a Startup Page upon every power or restart cycle (why a network connection is needed to adjust this setting is beyond my reasoning - what a waste of paper and toner)! Getting to these additional settings requires use of the "Embedded Web Server." Just type the unit's IP address (which can be found via its control console under settings/info) into a browser connected to the same network and the Embedded Web Server will automatically launch. Logging in under the Admin account is easy since the default password should work (see the Xerox Support site - Google it). Anyway, there are lots of additional settings here, but I was just glad to finally be able to turn off automatic printing of the Startup Page! As mentioned above, setting up the network connection could be a little more user friendly, so 4-stars.

We were given a Xerox B405 (free!) they went larger and are on a wired network. Purchased this device and it worked perfect with very easy setup (no IT needed) Thank you! Also not cheap junk from China

Bought as a spare for a Xerox printer- works well
