Connecting the Samsung Xpress M2070FW printer to WiFi is not a tough job if you’ve the proper knowledge. So, if you’re unable to connect the Samsung Xpress M2070FW to a wireless connection, we’re here to help you out. You can do it via the printer’s control panel or via the WPS push button.

Method 1: Using the Printer’s Control Panel

The easiest way to connect a Samsung Xpress M2070FW printer to WiFi is via its control panel. It can be a touchscreen or keypad. But the purpose will be the same- connecting it to a network connection. Here are the steps involved:

Turn on the printer by connecting its power cable to the power source on the wall.
Also, press the power button on the printer.
Now, click the Menu button on the keypad.
Use the arrow buttons to go to the Network or Network Settings and press OK.

Method 2: Via WPS Push Button

This method isn’t applicable to every printer. However, it can be applied to the Samsung Xpress M2070FW printer. It’s my favorite method as it needs no username and password to set up a wireless connection.

Open the Samsung printer Diagnostics on the PC. You can download this utility from HP’s website (HP acquired Samsung’s printer business).
Select the Setting Up Wireless Printing option and turn on your printer.

Select the printer on the “Select a wireless printer” page, and then click OK.

and then press the WPS button on the WiFi router within 2 minutes. It will automatically connect your printer to the available WiFi network without filling in the username and password.
