Canon Printer Wireless Setup How to connect to a Wi-Fi Network Router w/ 3 Methods (easy or painful)

[@michelepellegrino1283]

SERIOUSLY the BEST VIDEO out there to get this done the easy way!!!! THANK YOU!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Appreciate you watching 🙏

[@waltbowlby1638]

Great information . best wishes in college. thanks !

[@danielmetzler307]

I have had two canon printers and was glad when they left. Both were always difficult to use. Many times they invented a reason they could not print. Very frustrating. The canon eco tank model I just got rid of cost $400 three years ago and just died. The ink pads filled up and there is no fix available. I will never buy a canon product again! Junk really.

[@MediocreFilms]

Why Canon can't explain this clearly like you just did is beyond me. Their manual and online troubleshooting is absolutely no help. Thanks! Works like a charm.

[@ashercohen387]

The worst instructions ever.

[@samueldorcin1593]

Like it

[@compulayne5124]

Uhm... they have it right here and it is very clear and easy to follow for Mac/Apple OS X users : kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZ6TlqV9iJebmtU

[@compulayne5124]

And for WPS : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqfdgXRvlpaXq5o

[@AndreaGaleano-p1t]

Totally agree 😢

[@gailhollow1050]

This was the best video Eric I’am a 73 year old lady and I can’t thank you enough for all your help it was so easy. Thank you thank you. Gail Hollow

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome

[@carlasworld8571]

I know this video is three years old, but you just saved me from a headache. I don't know why Canon makes it so difficult to understand, but you are a god send. The part I needed was how to get to the numbers. Thank you.

[@jalilalaidi3349]

I tried method 1 didn't work, then method 2 and it's clearly done. Life saver. thank you for an easy explanation

[@pastorvandyk]

Hello Eric. Listen son, you are freaking brilliant. I have watched tutorials to set up my printer every time it goes out after lightning or power cuts. You are the first information sharer that gave it to me in a Chop Chop shortcut setup. God bless you. I am thankful. This time I left the darn thing for a month since I did not want to go reset it for an hour going through setting after setting. 5 minutes into your video and I am done and very happy. You're the Bomb man. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

Same here. I wait until I just can't stand not being able to print because I did the manual (pain in the neck) set up method that I saw in other videos. The WPS set up was couldn't believe it easy

[@davidguff5227]

Thank you! You have no idea how this helped me out literally right away. Canon support was rude and trying to get me to spend more money. Again, thank you. I really appreciated your video.

[@earlparris7086]

Man you are a life saver...I was struggling to get my printer set-up after moving to a new State and having to re-connect my devices the printer was not working. After hours of watching other videos I came across yours and within no time my printer was connected. Thank you so very much!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome earl. Happy to help 🤝

[@alsprouse4073]

This is the most straightforward and easiest explanation of how to connect a Canon printer to WiFi. Thank you for this post!

[@erinnshea3529]

Not gonna lie, I've had this printer for years and never used it because setting it up was so forking complicated. I just printed my first document! 15 freaking minutes with you and it's printing! Thank you!!

[@voncilesanders8308]

Eric, thank you so much for taking the time to put together this video. I was moments away from tears before coming across your platform, which was no accident....I seriously prayed for help! All praises to The Highest for allowing you to assist me!

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

His easy instructions saved me from getting a bad headache

[@jamesbyrne2758]

You are my hero! I was about to throw the printer out of the window and join a convent. Method one: 10 seconds later I can now print. Thank you very much :-)

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome ☺️

[@ian_inaba.6338]

Wow! I found this video helpful.😍 You are a Godsend. Thank you so much!🙏😊

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help.

[@marilynwashburn4480]

Same!!

[@jenniferzdaniuk6333]

Thank you. My parents are elderly and needed me to set this up for them without a manual to hand. Thanks!

[@thecollegepicker]

You're very welcome!

[@kaoleeyang2545]

Thank you! You saved me from giving up. It took hours and was tired/desperate and prayed for help. Your video caught my attention. My new wifi router does not have a WPS button. Which was a pain in the butt to troubleshoot until I came across your video. The last method finally was what worked for me in my situation.

[@cindyJvega]

Thank you!!!! For the past 3-4 days, I have searched and seen so many videos I lost count. I came across your video and my search was over! Your video is the most understanding and easiest way to connect! I used method 1.. 😊

[@maggietakeda4320]

I have looked at many videos explaining how to connect my Canon printer wirelessly but this is the absolute best!

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

100% agree!

[@tammysaville9097]

Thanks to you and lots of praying, within minutes I'm wifi ready. You are truly a blessing . Canon owes you big time.

[@NewInsightsAcademy]

Thanks so much. I started out trying all three methods, none of whish worked! But then I looked up how to use WPS on my TP-Link Router and found that the button should only be pushed for 1 second, not 5 secs as stated on the printer screen. That did the trick and now I am connected. Your tutorial is very clear and easy to follow!

[@Stephania_77]

I used this method to set up both my Canon and Sawgrass printers and it literally saved me from bursting into tears! Thank you!

[@DavidHernandez-oc1oz]

WOW! Thanks for the WPS method. It was beyond simple. Best connecting printer video I've used.

[@davehightower3570]

Thank you so much for your guidance and options on how to get my Canon printer back on line. My printer is older but it does have WiFi. The only option that worked was your third option. I was ready to replace it, but while watching your third option it worked and I’m back on line. Great guidance from you to a guy that’s not so up on this stuff.

[@amylou8319]

Thank you. This is the best video on KZbin for connecting to printer. Finally got it working.

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad it helped

[@Kimmyj30]

This helps so much! Had to do the manual option but I got through it with a breeze once you gave the instructions I was unstoppable! 😂

[@WillWilliam-ys1rn]

I love you Eric 😂😂 I've spent days trying to get my printer connected. Followed your steps and I was connected in 20 seconds. Thank you so much buddy.

[@CHAPINONG]

Had my printer for a year, and never got it to connect, i was about to toss it out the window! But after this video i got it to work on my wifi, THANK YOU :D

[@prairierose385]

Thank You Thank You Thank You so much!!! I was having serious issues with my printer trying to print from my phone and my computer. I hadn’t had time to work on it in months. I finally said I’ve got to KZbin this. I watched your video and had it fixed and working within a couple of minutes. I can’t praise your video enough!!!

[@TV-kb8yd]

OMG! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! i struggled for hours to reconnect new wifi but didnt work. i was going to throw the printer away but i found this video and tried the first method. It worked!!!!!

[@shannonarnsparger]

Cant thank you enough. I have spent hours on the phone with Tmobile, then them sending me to CAnon , and the call got dropped or they werent open. So frustrating! I had to connect manually but IT WORKED! THANK YOU FOR saving me any more time on the dang phone!

[@RemembranceAcademyLLC]

Amazing. The second option worked flawlessly for me and honestly I just needed awareness about the app itself and everything flowed from there, thank you!

[@labarbarachase122]

Thanks for your help. I had struggled with this for 2 days after changing my wifi network info. I'm a senior with limited IT knowledge. This was so easy! Thanks again!!!!! I used METHOD 1....

[@victoriayardley7358]

Thank you for this! It's much more helpful than the official manual which seems to talk about connecting to wifi in vague generalities without giving any actual instructions on how to do it, or at least I couldn't find any. On my printer, the LCD display doesn't seem to give any indication of what all the setup options mean (just numbers, and I couldn't find a key to the numbers anywhere!) so I wasn't able to get Method 1 to work, but the phone app method worked well for me.

[@thereal_jenna]

omg, bless you... after 2 hours of struggle found this and 2 mins later i'm printing

[@vr1934]

Thank God for clear and understandable people like you!

[@karenbrown5174]

Thank you so much. After a week of stressing out, trying to connect my printer to my new Wi-Fi, method number three, worked like a charm.

[@markfrye9178]

Thank you. I was getting so frustrated in setting up my canon. I had to resort to Number 3, but you explained it very well.

[@timthomas1238]

I worked on this for days, called cannon, did everything. found your video thank God. the first process worked . thank you

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome. Happy to help.

[@mariposawilke75]

Thank you for your clear directions. I changed my password on the router and then my printer wouldn't connect. I watched about 4 KZbin videos till I found yours. It worked!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome 🤠

[@curioustwo3]

Take a bow son... You nailed it. Much appreciated.

[@thecollegepicker]

Thank you 🤝

[@Mickey-jo1hf]

thanks a million! I've been tormented with my issue for weeks, ready to get a new printer! To find the wps method worked in seconds ...ugh! So grateful you took the time to do this video.

[@thecollegepicker]

Great to hear! Happy to help 🤝

[@haroldgrabs1036]

You became my hero for today! Since Canon no longer supports my MX870, i was elated that method three worked well. Thank you, Eric!

[@caitlynpelton7955]

The third one was the one that worked! it wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. Thank you! best video

[@mumstheword7141]

This is a life saver, my computer is so old and slow. Linking my phone to my printer wireless is a game changer. Thank u!!!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome.

[@AcquahBaiden]

Thank you for this video. After a few hours I am glad I found it. Even though I have an older Mg 3029, your steps helped me connect when the official canon videos for that same model was completely useless. Thank you

[@christinecugno7442]

I was struggling with getting my printer reconnected and this video did the trick! Thank you!

[@thecollegepicker]

Oh good, happy to help.

[@freefoyah2992]

Extremely helpful bro! I just got my g4010 and Im losing my mind because I can't find video tutorial on how to fix wps button of router. Thanks bro helps a lot!

[@crystalgyle2067]

THE ONE AND ONLY VIDEO THAT HELPED ME WITH SETTING UP MY CANON PRINTER TO MY iPHONE.

[@nathanlloyd-jones4641]

Thanks so much. We were working and respond for over an hour trying to figure out how to print on our Canon 3202. It was the fact that we didn't have the app. Thanks again!!!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Happy to help you solve the puzzle

[@w00dee13]

Outstanding video!! I would have never got that password in without you! Thanks

[@MaryShepherd-x8k]

Thank you so much. I’ve been trying for a while using Canon manual and troubleshooting and it is absolutely useless. It’s just taken me minutes to connect while watching your video 😊

[@skybluespirit333]

Thank you SO MUCH - we were tearing our hair out until we found your video. Our last Netgear modem did NOT have a WPS button, but thankfully our new Netgear modem DID!! 🙂🙂🙂

[@ashleywilson9149]

OMG! Thank you so much for this video. I thought I was going to have to purchase a different router because the WPS was missing. I love that you provided 3 options and made it so simple!

[@thecollegepicker]

You are very welcome ☺️

[@toceans-empowermentandjour759]

THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AND THANK YOU AGAIN(SMILING)I think you should work for Canon, because even canon OWN INSTRUCTIONS are hard to follow or digest. We just tested the 3 methods, on two different canon printers, you are SO CORRECT, it is the same or similar. I love the no waste of time, sweet, short and direct to the point video with out all the junk. Sincerely THANK YOU.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome 🤠

[@christineoconnor5181]

i really have to thank you . i was struggling with the wireless setup after i moved. you were clear and easy to understand. it was the one thing that every site missed. thank you! so easy with your help. next time i will go straight to you!

[@halfidlow5036]

This video hooked me right up.... You're the man.

[@zachrez6562]

Thank you for this! It really made it easy! ...two things I would add that might trip people up, like me, is that after the printer is connected you still have to ADD PRINTER in your computer. Secondly, go into printer preferences and make sure it is set to the same paper you are using in the printer. The main dingdong on this is between "A4" and "letter". If you do not tell your computer that the printer you added has which specific paper you put in it, it will have an error message. (In the time it took me to make this comment, I did my first printing by wifi! Yoohooo!)

[@yurl3054]

I just stumbled across your video looking for a way to connect my older printers to the new T-Mobile 5G network. Your video was freaking awesome after days of trying to figure this out burning my brain out this short video did it for me immediately. Thank you so much. Do you have a video for the HP Smart tank 5101 that would be awesome. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

[@JaneThompson-q4d]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was going crazy until I found this excellent tutorial. Keep up the great job.

[@toceans-empowermentandjour759]

THANK YOU AND MUCH APPRECIATED ERIC!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY why is Canon not using your clean, easy and 3 step process in their link or site. I think you should work for Canon, because even canon OWN INSTRUCTIONS are hard to follow or digest. I love the no waste of time, sweet, short and direct to the point video with out all the junk. Sincerely THANK YOU.

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help 😊

I’ve been trying to connect my printer wirelessly for months. This was extremely helpful, thank you! 👍👍👍

[@lamiahaboobaker8898]

Thank you so much. Please can you help with a video on how to print sticker (Matt and water proof)

[@sandrarumble267]

Thanks for the very helpful advice on setting up my Canon --I used the manual way but I have no keypad so how do I enter numbers?? I need that step and I'll be finished!

[@somnambulist1965]

Thanks so much. I had a very important document to scan, and you saved me a pile of hassle

[@sallylo7135]

I totally spent 2hours to fix my stupid computer until I watch this Vedic, thanks for your clearly explaination ❤

[@Sheikh_Nishad_Hyder1948]

Why doesn't the G2020 canon have a wireless option? Please provide detailed information I want to take print out from my mobile?? Pliz

[@mansourimohamed7623]

OMG after 1 year struggling to connect it thanks for the help

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome 🤠

[@mekamiya]

Thank you for the very clear directions! You have saved me twice ( well actually you saved the printer from going out the window : )

[@johnsmythe1744]

as the rest said, thank you!!. thought I was back in 2005!! after 4hrs using download on pc and even cd your phone method worked immediately

[@scar1607]

What about if you have hotspot

[@uselesstaff]

Perfect tutorial! Could you please also explain how to set up fax on the device? 😅

[@danielleparker4282]

Great tutorial--- how do I synch a Canon Rebel T7 to my printer through Wifi?

[@familytravelforum]

Great job, all done at 2:44 and it worked. This is after 30 minutes of googling around for a text version of your advice, none of which worked. Thanks so much for saving my mind.

[@berylcollins7840]

This was so straight forward. I am not tech savvy but your instructions worked immediately. Thank you.

[@markhansen6236]

Really good tutorial explaining all the options available 👌 👍

[@pickelw]

This should be included in the Canon link. It made it so simple it was ridiculous. I had almost returned the G7020 because the USB cable wouldn’t connect. I purchased a high speed cable and corrected that problem. I was not even going to attempt the WiFi connection until I found this instructional video. Thank you, thank you.

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome. Good work 💪 🙌

[@hannaweissberger4790]

Your instructions are the BEST. Thank you, full of attitude. Still struggelinghow to operate the scanner.

[@awadhnarayansingh9629]

Very informative. I'm running into another problem with cannon G3260. I had already connected to wifi network and now i'm trying to change network and connect to another wifi router. For some reason it feels like it has stored the earlier wifi password and using that to connect new wifi network hence times out with all three methods. Also, in all three methods I do not get a prompt to enter password for new network. I have tried reset all settings but no luck. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

[@davidsill153]

Canon sent us in the weeds for an hour but your option one worked in five minutes when we had to change routers. THANKS!

[@thecollegepicker]

Silly Canon 🤝

[@LeoThePrezPretlo]

Can you fax when it on wireless or do you still need a phone landline connection

[@autumnjames4122]

love your attitude and lack of ego. I am happy to support this channel. Well Done!!

[@thecollegepicker]

Thanks Autumn, I appreciate your support. 🙏 I really do.

[@nancybricks7666]

Gosh thank you so very much I was so frustrated and lost. Just moved and couldn't figure it out My daughters set this dang thing up❤️❤️

[@TrishisFlabbergasted]

Omgggg thank youuuuuuuu. The WPS method worked! No idea why Canon can't add this tidbit into their instruction videos. Wouldn't work any other way.

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad I could help!

[@susane1010]

Thanks for info on Method 1! You got us over the hump!

[@reginabeasley872]

These videos are so helpful as the owners manual for devices are so small to read at least with these videos you can pause rewind and save them for future reference

[@thecollegepicker]

Happy to help 😊

[@jessepadilla3154]

Any idea how to have the enter passphrase key screen popup? Whenever I go to select my wireless network, the step to enter passphrase skips and it goes right to connecting. I have trie d manually resetting LAN settings, but that doesn't't seem to wipe the printer's LAN memory. I've tried resetting all setting on the printer to no avail. I changed my routers to something better, one without a WPS button, my name is the same on my network as the previous router

[@patriziarots3807]

Also same problem with enter passphrase screen not coming up, but going straight to connecting and then printer doesn’t connect. Printer was working previously, but the stopped worker after our wifi went on and off a few times.

[@lauriemillerrealtor-remaxs8615]

Same problem.

[@casergio]

Option 2 worked for me, I'm used a different app "Canon Print" and the process was super easy.

[@kevinlavey178]

Excellent, man. Great directions!

[@loradietmeyer4416]

Thank you for your help. I was lost and could not figure this out yesterday, but watching you video today made it so simple! Thanks gain from Oregon

[@thecollegepicker]

You are welcome 🤠

[@sirsybbgummy]

Oh my gosh thank you so much- your videos have helped me so much that I've subbed 😊 we recently got a new internet router and I was super confused because I had tried both options 1 & 2 on my own and it still wouldn't connect, but it worked like a charm after the 3rd one!!

[@thatswhatisaidCA]

Thank you! I did the first method and it worked, but a month later I couldn't print again. Do i need to delete and reinstall the app?

[@nickhoskings4028]

Great video, got my Canon Pixma connected to my new home WiFi network and printing.

[@monessa5916]

Thank you so much it took 1 minute following your directions For CANNON G7020 to hook up to the wifi using router.

[@christineleggroan5512]

Best tutorial ever thank you... The 3rd option worked best for me.

[@drummershirl]

Hi, I am new to your channel, thank you your videos are very helpful. I just hooked up my Canon 3620 and I'm having a problem with printing an image. I pulled the image from Google images, saved as a pdf and went through the deal, it acted like I sent it , it printed a blank page! When printing from a computer I had the option "fit to page", I'm assuming it has something to do with the image size right? Help!!

[@ashercohen387]

I worked for two days trying to set up my Canon TR4520. Watched the video, and it was set up in less than five minutes. Wish I could have this video before chewing of my arm!!!

[@Valmikitournepal]

Thank you so much for this very informative and helpful tool guidance

[@rogerwebb5228]

Option 1 worked ok for me after about half an hour faffing about with other solutions - thank you, I wish canon would be a bit more explicit with their connection procedures for the 21st century

[@pinkconfidantp2me912]

Om'sh that was so much easier than reading the directions thank you.

[@lillianlee1728]

Success - got my printer hooked up to Wireless. Thankyou
