Hello hickpop,
I understand the menu screen for LAN Connection is grayed on your Color imageCLASS MF726Cdw. When the setting "Enable Direct Connection" is "On", it prevents use of a wired LAN or any wireless LAN other than Direct Connection. Which also means the wired LAN and wireless LAN settings are grayed out. Turning "Enable Direct Connection" to "Off" will allow you to make your LAN Connection selection. Please follow these steps to turn off "Enable Direct Connection":
1. Tap <Menu> in the <Home> Screen.
2. Tap <Network Settings>.
* If the logon screen appears, enter the correct ID and PIN using the numeric keys, and then press ID.
3. Tap <Enable Direct Connection>.
4. Tap <Off>.
5. Restart the machine. Turn OFF the machine, wait for at least one minute, and turn it back ON.
