Overview
The video provides a step-by-step guide to connecting Canon Wi-Fi printers (using the G4210 as an example) to a home wireless network through three different methods, adaptable for multiple Canon models with LCD screens.
Method 1: WPS Push Button Setup
- Ensure the printer is powered on and has an LCD screen.
- Press the setup/menu button (pliers and screwdriver icon) to access "Wireless LAN Setup."
- Select "WPS Push Button" and press OK.
- On your router, locate and press the WPS (or Sync) button until the indicator flashes.
- Once the printer displays "connected," confirm by pressing OK and check for the Wi-Fi icon.
Method 2: Smartphone/Tablet App Setup
- Download and install the Canon Print Inkjet/SELPHY app from the App Store or Play Store.
- Agree to terms and allow required permissions in the app.
- On the printer, enter "Wireless LAN Setup" and select "Easy WLConnect."
- In the app, search for available printers and select your device.
- Choose your wireless network from the list and enter the exact password.
- Confirm the connection on the printer by pressing OK when prompted.
Method 3: Manual Setup on Printer
- Power on the printer and access "Wireless LAN Setup" through the setup button.
- Choose "Manual Connect" from the options.
- Select your Wi-Fi network from the detected list and press OK.
- Use the printer's number pad to carefully input your Wi-Fi password, switching modes for uppercase, lowercase, and numbers as needed.
- Confirm when "connected" appears and verify the Wi-Fi icon on the display.
Additional Notes & Tips
- The tutorial works for many Canon models with Wi-Fi and an LCD screen.
- If your router lacks a WPS button, proceed with Method 2 or 3.
- Password entry is case-sensitive; ensure accuracy in letters, numbers, and symbols.
- For mesh routers, the Sync button may serve as the WPS button.
