To connect the Canon PIXMA G3010 printer to Wi-Fi, there are two main methods:
1. **WPS Push Button Mode**
– Confirm your wireless router has a WPS button.
– Press and hold the printer’s Network button until the Wi-Fi light blinks.
– Then press the WPS button on your router within 2 minutes to pair automatically.
– Wait for the printer’s Wi-Fi icon to stop blinking, indicating connection[1].
2. **Cableless Connect via Canon PRINT Inkjet/Selphy app**
– Download and open the Canon PRINT Inkjet/Selphy app on your smartphone.
– Use the app to detect the printer and follow the on-screen instructions to connect to your Wi-Fi network without cables[1].
Additionally, the Wi-Fi password for connecting may be the printer’s serial number, which is usually found on a sticker at the back of the printer. This is especially relevant for Wi-Fi Direct connection mode[3].
To summarize briefly:
– If your router supports WPS, use the WPS button method on both devices.
– If not, use the Canon PRINT app for a wireless setup guided by the app.
– The default Wi-Fi password if asked can be the printer’s serial number printed on its label[1][3].
If you encounter connection issues, ensure your router is compatible and restarting both the printer and router can help resolve common issues[5].
