To connect your printer to Wi-Fi, first ensure the printer is turned on and near your Wi-Fi router. Then, use one of the following common methods depending on your printer model:
– **Using the printer’s control panel:** Navigate to the wireless or network settings menu, select your Wi-Fi network name (SSID), and enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted. Once connected, the wireless indicator on the printer usually stops blinking and shows a solid light[1][2][3][5].
– **Using the WPS button:** If both your router and printer support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), press the WPS button on your router, then press the WPS button on your printer. The devices will connect automatically without needing a password[1].
– **Via Ethernet and web interface:** Connect the printer to the router with an Ethernet cable, find the printer’s IP address, and use a web browser to access its wireless settings. You can configure Wi-Fi credentials from there[1].
After connection, print a network configuration page from the printer to confirm the connection and get IP address details[1]. Make sure your computer or device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network to print wirelessly.
If your printer has a touchscreen, look for a *Wireless Setup Wizard* or similar menu to guide you through the connection process easily[5].
If you experience issues, verify the printer and your device are on the same network and restart both if necessary[2]. Refer to your printer’s manual for model-specific instructions.
