Re: Can't connect Phone Wi-Fi (Internet Sharing) & Wi-Fi Printer on Laptop same time

ok
try this

on your phone, turn on wifi sharing. Lets say the SSID for this network is NIGEL.

Now go to the laptop and connect to the phone's network, NIGEL. You should be able to access internet now.

NOW, go to the printer, and on its LCD screen, get to settings and then network settings. Look for wifi networks available, and select the name of the network that your PHONE is putting out i.e. NIGEL.

One your printer connects, now your laptop and printer are in the same network. You may still have trouble finding the printer from the laptop, so reboot the laptop. THe IP address of the printer would help but you would have to find that from your phone.

Hope that helps.
