For Non-Touchscreen Models:

Use the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) method:

1. Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer until the Wi-Fi light flashes.

2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.

3. 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

1. Download and install Epson Software Installer from the official website:

2. Launch the Epson Printer Setup utility.

3. Choose Wireless Setup, then follow the on-screen instructions.

4. The tool will help you:

   1. Locate the printer

   2. Enter the Wi-Fi credentials

   3. Complete wireless configuration

This method works well if you're setting up your printer from a Windows or Mac device.

🔄 Step 4: Reset Network Settings and Try Again

If the printer still won’t connect, reset its network settings:

1. On the printer, go to Setup > Restore Default Settings > Network Settings.

2. Confirm the reset.

3. 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:

1. SSID or password change: Update the printer with the new network credentials.

2. 2.4GHz vs. 5GHz: Most Epson printers only support 2.4GHz. Make sure you’re not trying to connect to a 5GHz-only network.

3. Router too far: Move the printer closer or consider a Wi-Fi extender.

4. 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.

1. Disable VPNs, firewalls, or antivirus software temporarily while setting up the printer.

2. Re-enable them once the setup is complete.

🧪 Step 7: Update Drivers and Firmware

Using outdated drivers or firmware can cause connection issues.

1. Go to the Epson support page: https://www.epson.com/Support

2. Enter your printer model.

3. Download and install:

   1. Latest printer driver

   2. Firmware updates

   3. 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:

1. Connected to network: Yes

2. IP Address: Listed

3. Signal Strength: Acceptable or Good

Try printing a test page from your computer or mobile device.
