This guide can be used for Dell™ laser printers 5330dn, 2335dn, and 2355dn

Configuring the Dell Internal Wireless Adapter
Before installing the printer’s driver on your computer, you must configure 

the appropriate network parameters of the printer. 

 

NOTE: The following network information may be needed to configure the Dell 

Internal Wireless Adapter on the printer.

Network Name, also known as SSID (Service Set ID) 

Network authentication and encryption type 

Security Key(s) or Password

For more information, contact your wireless network administrator or see the 

provided pdf network documentation. 

The Dell 2335dn, Dell 2355dn, and Dell 5330 supports two standard wireless 

operation modes, Infrastructure (recommended) & Ad hoc.

• Infrastructure mode (recommended): In Infrastructure mode, wireless 

devices or workstations communicate with each other through an access 

point (AP). In Infrastructure, wireless works after existing LAN cable 

connection to the printer is unplug. (i.e. un-plug LAN cable when using 

access point)

Ad hoc (peer-to-peer) mode: Ad hoc mode is also referred to as Peer-to-

Peer mode. In Ad hoc mode, printer communicates directly with other 

devices, without using an access point (AP). If wireless operation mode is 

ad-hoc, user can use the printer to print & share files both wireless as well 

as wired communication.

There are three ways the Dell Internal Wireless Adapter can be configured.
Either;

• Method 1: Using the printer's Operator Panel (recommended for simple network 

security such as WEP). 

See page 10 for instructions.

• Method 2 (Dell 2355dn only): Using the printer's Operator Panel 

(recommended for simple network such as Connection via PBC). 

See 

page 10 for instructions.

Or,

• Method 3: Assigning the printer an IP address, using the IP address to 

access the printer and using the printer's 

Embedded Web Server

See 

page 15 for instructions.
