Restart your printer, computer, and router.

🛠️ Step 2: Reconnect Epson Printer to Wi-Fi
There are different ways to reconnect your Epson printer depending on the model.
For Touchscreen Models:

For Non-Touchscreen Models:
Use the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) method:
Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer until the Wi-Fi light flashes.
Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
Wait for the Wi-Fi light to turn solid—this means the printer is connected.
📝 Tip: If WPS is not available or doesn’t work, use the Epson Connect Utility from your PC to reconnect your printer manually.
💻 Step 3: Use the Epson Software to Connect
Download and install Epson Software Installer from the official website:
👉 https://www.epson.com/SupportLaunch the Epson Printer Setup utility.
Choose Wireless Setup, then follow the on-screen instructions.
The tool will help you:
Locate the printer
Enter the Wi-Fi credentials
Complete wireless configuration

🔄 Step 4: Reset Network Settings and Try Again
If the printer still won’t connect, reset its network settings:
On the printer, go to Setup > Restore Default Settings > Network Settings.
Confirm the reset.
Restart your printer and perform the Wi-Fi setup again.
This helps clear old or incorrect connection information.

🌐 Step 5: Check Your Wi-Fi Router Settings
If your Epson printer was previously connected and suddenly disconnected:
SSID or password change: Update the printer with the new network credentials.
2.4GHz vs. 5GHz: Most Epson printers only support 2.4GHz. Make sure you’re not trying to connect to a 5GHz-only network.
Router too far: Move the printer closer or consider a Wi-Fi extender.
MAC filtering enabled: If your router has MAC address filtering turned on, you’ll need to add the printer’s MAC address manually to the allowed list.
🖥️ Step 6: Disable Firewall, VPN, or Antivirus Temporarily
Security software on your computer or router may interfere with the printer connection.
Disable VPNs, firewalls, or antivirus software temporarily while setting up the printer.
Re-enable them once the setup is complete.
🧪 Step 7: Update Drivers and Firmware
Using outdated drivers or firmware can cause connection issues.
Go to the Epson support page: https://www.epson.com/Support
Enter your printer model.
Download and install:
Latest printer driver
Firmware updates
Optional: Epson Connect Printer Setup Utility
✅ Final Test – Is It Working Now?
After setup, print a network status report from the printer’s menu. It should show:
Connected to network: Yes
IP Address: Listed
Signal Strength: Acceptable or Good
Try printing a test page from your computer or mobile device.
