  Initialize your Router and Set Up your Product with a Wi-Fi Connection on a Windows Computer

  Important: In most cases, the software installer will automatically set up your wireless connection so you don't need to know your SSID and password. However if it cannot determine your SSID or password you will be prompted to set up your wireless connection manually. If you don't know them, contact the manufacturer of your router or the person who set up your network.

  If you are using a 5 GHz wireless router, set the router to operate in dual band (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) mode. See your router documentation for instructions.

  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.

     Note: Make a note of the file name and its location so you 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.
  4. When you see the Select Setup Option screen, select Set up printer for the first time, then click Next.

     
     
     

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

  After you complete the Wi-Fi setup, turn your firewall back on. If these troubleshooting instructions did not solve the problem, contact Epson support.
