To connect your printer to Wi-Fi, turn on the printer and place it near your router. Use the printer’s control panel to access the network or Wi-Fi setup menu, select your Wi-Fi network (SSID), enter the password, and confirm the connection. Once connected, add the printer to your computer or device via settings or the manufacturer’s app. Alternatively, if your router and printer support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), press the WPS button on the router and then on the printer to connect automatically without entering the password[1][4][5].
Detailed steps typically include:
1. **Prepare:** Turn on the printer and find your Wi-Fi network name and password.
2. **Connect via Control Panel:** On the printer’s screen, navigate to *Settings > Network > Wi-Fi Setup Wizard* (or similar).
3. **Select Network:** Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
4. **Enter Password:** Input your Wi-Fi password and confirm.
5. **Confirm Connection:** The printer will show a confirmation message or a steady wireless light once connected.
6. **Add Printer to Device:** On your computer or phone, add the printer through system preferences, device settings, or the manufacturer’s app.
For WPS connection (if supported), press the WPS button on the router, then press the WPS or Wireless button on the printer within two minutes. The printer joins the network without requiring the password[3][5].
If your printer does not have a display, you may use the setup software via USB connection to configure Wi-Fi, or enter the printer’s IP address on a browser to configure wireless settings if supported[1][4].
If you encounter issues, consult your printer manual or router settings for troubleshooting.
