To connect your printer to Wi-Fi, you typically need to access the printer’s wireless setup menu, select your Wi-Fi network, and enter the password. If your printer has a touchscreen or control panel, you can navigate to the Wireless Setup Wizard, select your network name (SSID), and input the Wi-Fi password to establish the connection[1][2][3].
There are three common methods to connect a wireless printer to Wi-Fi:
1. **Using the printer’s control panel**: Navigate to wireless settings or Wi-Fi setup, select your network, enter the password, and complete the setup wizard on the printer screen[1][2][3].
2. **WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button method**: Press the WPS button on your router, then press the WPS button on your printer. The devices will automatically detect and connect without needing to enter a password manually[1][2][4].
3. **Using Ethernet and printer’s web interface**: Connect the printer to the router via Ethernet cable, find the printer’s IP address on the router’s admin page, and use a web browser to enter wireless network settings (SSID, password) in the printer’s web interface[1].
After connecting, you can print a network configuration page from the printer to verify connection details like IP and MAC addresses[1].
Make sure your printer is turned on and within Wi-Fi range, and the router supports the method you choose. If you face connection issues, restart your printer and router, check the printer manual for troubleshooting, and ensure no router settings are blocking connections[1][3][4].
