Initialize your router and set up your product with a Wi-Fi connection on a Windows computer

Important: You'll need to know your network name (SSID) and network password before you can set up your product. If you don't know them, contact the manufacturer of your router or the person who set up your network.

1. Unplug your router's power cord from the power outlet, wait a brief period, then plug it back in. You may need to re-establish the connection for the other devices on your network.
2. Download the Drivers and Utilities Combo Package from the Downloads tab for your product. Make a note of the file name and save location so you easily can retrieve it.
3. Open the file you downloaded and follow the on-screen instructions. When you see the Select Your Connection screen, select Wireless connection, then click Next.

5. Follow the instructions on-screen to complete the installation.

   Note: We recommend using a temporary USB cable connection (cable not included) to simplify wireless setup. If you don't have the cable, select Using printer buttons to set up your printer.

   After you complete the Wi-Fi setup, remember to enable your firewall settings. If these troubleshooting instructions did not solve the problem, contact Epson support.
