    i would like to find out how i can use my Epson Stylus NX510 printer wirelessly through a Netgear 54mbps wireless router model WGR614v7 from my laptop which is a Gateway NV74 using windows 7 operating system. Please help not even sure if i can use the router it was a free one a couple years ago.Thanks in advance.

    I did some quick research, and it appears that your Epson NX510 does have built-in wireless connectivity (and wired connectivity) so you can indeed access/print from your network. I'd suggest visiting the Epson support page for your unit (click this link) and checking out the FAQs and the user manual to figure out exactly how to configure the printer for network use. The make/model of your router should have no impact on anything, so just read the manual and FAQs and you should find what you need. Good luck!

    Happy to help! I don't have any first-hand knowledge of the NX510, so I figured that linking you with the user guides, toubleshooting info, and FAQs was the best way to go. Good luck!

    Hi just an update, i had a computer guy in Brantford set it up had it at his shop on King George Road, he had it working wirelessly without my internet on. I have a Bell Turbo Stick which is a USB wireless for Bell Satellite. i've been told that the only way i have my printer wireless is if i go cable or dial up internet than i can support a wireles printer or plug it in with acord which i would do but would still prefer wireless printer and bell turbo stick internet connection.
    Someone at Future shop said if my laptop supported a sharing wireless network then I might be able to have both wireless. I have a Gateway Laptop NV74 Intel Pentium Processor T4300, 500GB Hard Drive, 4GB Memory,etc with Windows 7. Anyone conquer the same issues I have also Norton has well is installed on my Laptop. Thanks Chuck:-D
