To connect your printer to Wi-Fi, first ensure the printer is turned on and within range of the wireless network. Then, use one of these common methods depending on your printer model:
1. **Wireless Setup Wizard (for printers with touchscreen/control panel):**
– Access the printer’s control panel.
– Navigate to Settings > Network or Wireless Settings.
– Select **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
– Choose your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and enter the password.
– Wait for confirmation of connection.
2. **WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Method (if supported by printer and router):**
– Press and hold the printer’s Wireless or WPS button until the wireless light blinks.
– Within two minutes, press the router’s WPS button.
– Wait for the printer to connect (wireless light stops blinking or a message appears).
3. **Manual Network Setup (if no WPS):**
– Navigate to the wireless setup menu on the printer.
– Enter your Wi-Fi network name and password manually.
After connecting the printer to Wi-Fi, install the appropriate printer software on your computer or mobile device to start printing wirelessly ([1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFYOX8OcI_0), [2](https://www.asurion.com/connect/tech-tips/how-to-connect-printer-to-wifi/), [3](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4124194/how-do-i-connect-my-printer-to-my-new-wifi)).
If your printer has no screen or buttons, refer to its manual for specific connection instructions, which may involve using a USB cable for initial setup.
If problems persist, try restarting your printer, router, and computer or consult your printer manufacturer’s support site.
