Connect a Canon Printer to WiFi

The steps to connect Canon printer to Wifi could seem complicated. But it actually gets easier once you know what to do. This article is intended to guide you through the process whether you are setting up your Canon printer for the first time, reconfiguring after a reset, or troubleshooting wireless error.

Turn on your printer, and then access your WiFi or Wireless LAN Setup menu. Choose your WiFi network, enter in the WiFi key (password), and verify connection. Most PIXMA, MAXIFY, and imageCLASS printers allow this. Alternatively, if your router has a WPS button, you can just push that and it will pair without needing the WiFi key.

For beginners, the Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY mobile app offers an easy wireless setup directly from your smartphone. If WiFi setup fails, you can also use a USB cable and Canon setup software to complete the wireless configuration.

If your Canon printer is not connecting to WiFi, try restarting the printer and router, checking the correct WiFi password, using a 2.4GHz network, or resetting the printer’s network settings. Keeping the printer close to the router can also improve connection stability and prevent wireless issues.
