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

  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 the location so you can retrieve it.

     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.

  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.

     

  4. When you see the Select Setup Option screen, select Set up printer for the first time, then click Next.

     
     
     

     If you see this screen, click Options.

     

  5. When you see the Select a Wireless Network Setup Method screen, follow the instructions on the computer 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, please contact Epson support.
