Why Your Printer Won’t Connect to Wi-Fi (And How to Fix It)
Introduction
Printer problems are one of the most common tech frustrations. Most Wi-Fi printer issues come down to three simple causes.
1. Printer and Computer on Different Networks
Make sure:
Your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi as your computer or iPhone.
Check your Wi-Fi name on both devices.
2. Router Needs Restarting
Turn off your router.
Wait 60 seconds.
Turn it back on.
This fixes many connection problems.
3. Printer Needs Reconnecting
On your printer screen:
Go to Settings
Select Wi-Fi Setup
Reconnect to your network
4. Weak Wi-Fi Signal
Move the printer closer to your router.
Walls and large furniture can block signal strength.
