An Ultimate Wi-Fi Setup Guide to Canon PIXMA MG4250 Printer
Some access points (usually named routers or hubs) have an automatic connection button labeled “WPS,” which is for a Wi-Fi network-protected setup and allows your devices to connect to a network without requiring you to type in your password. If the access point has a WPS connection button, choose ‘WPS Connection Method’ given below for the complete guidelines for connecting by using this method. When there is no WPS connection button on the access point, you can use another optional method that is the ‘Standard Connection Method,’ given below, to connect your Canon PIXMA MG4250 printer to a Wi-Fi network.

Before we begin this process, there are a few conditions that must have to be reached to use the WPS push button method for your Canon PIXMA MG4250 printer:
The access point must have a WPS push button. If your WPS push button isn’t available, you can use the Standard Connection Method section guidelines. Please refer to your device’s user guide for all details.
The network must be using WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) or WPA2 security protocols. Most of the WPS-enabled access points use this protocol.
