### Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Connection Issues
– **Power Cycle:** If the printer won’t connect, unplug it from the wall for 5 minutes, then plug it back in directly (not through a power strip)[3].
– **Signal Strength:** Ensure the printer is close enough to your Wi-Fi router for a strong signal[3].
– **MAC Address Filtering:** Check your router settings to ensure the printer’s MAC address isn’t blocked[3].
