When i used to loose internet connection , now it takes 10 mins or more to print an A4 photo . Do you think this is because i need a new Wi-Fi Adapter , it's been there about 4 years now . I don't know what make it is i bought it in Asda about 4 years ago . Even when i try the Wi-Fi Adapter in different usb port's it's still the same , a few day's ago the printer was still a bit slower but restarting the pc you got similar result's . Now i don't know what's happening if it's the printer's fault Wi-Fi Adapter or what lot's of time's i get You’re not connected. Happy Christmas one and all .

No....printing has nothing to do with wifi.

If your issues is actually the wifi.....then the first step would be to try an update the driver/software that came with the wifi adapter. In order to do that we need the brand/make/model of the adapter.

Next; what type of PC do you have that the Wifi adapter is connected to.....desktop (tower), laptop or tablet? Then we need to know what type of connection speed is your router....G, N or AC?

I live in Britain the tyne and wear area , the tp-link i bought at a local asda . I was in a hurry and asked someone for something to get online , that was the only one they had and it done the job . I'm very numb with the help of computer's and how they work , i usually ask on here . So any Tp- link's you suggest i will probably get . I will check them out first , to see if they plug in the usb port etc . Spirit Wolfe thank's for all your help .

I still can't get online with the new adapter ,. It say's i'm not connected , I ran the auto run cd , I installed the driver and wps tool , i went to the wireless button on my pc . I entered the same password as on here and i still can't connect , i have the old tp-link in the ack of the pc to do that.

The tp-lnk is working now, i pushed the wps button on the router. I did that last time too , this time i held it in for about 1 second . When i tried it a couple of hours later it work's , i had to enter my wi-fi pass word twice though . I don't know why hopefully i will have no more bother with the adapter .
