How to Change Your Wi-Fi Password on a Canon Printer

If you’ve recently changed your Wi-Fi network name or password, your Canon printer will need to reconnect using the updated credentials. Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure a smooth reconnection.

Step 1: Prepare Your Credentials

Before starting, make sure you have your new Wi-Fi network name and password handy. You’ll need these to reconnect your printer successfully.

Step 2: Reset the Printer’s Wi-Fi Settings

1. Turn on the Printer: Ensure your printer is powered on.
2. Reset Wi-Fi Settings: Press and hold the Wi-Fi button until the power light flashes once. Once it flashes, release the button. This resets the printer’s Wi-Fi settings, allowing it to search for your new network.

Method A: Using WPS

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows for a quick connection between your printer and router.

1. Press the Wi-Fi button: On the printer, press and hold the Wi-Fi button until the power lamp flashes.
2. Activate WPS on Your Router: Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
3. Wait for Connection: The printer will connect to the network. When the light stops flashing and stays solid, the connection is successful.

Method B: Using the Canon Mobile App

If you prefer using your mobile device, the Canon Print Inkjet/SELPHY app can facilitate the connection.

1. Download the App: Install the Canon Print Inkjet/SELPHY app from the iOS App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Open the App: Launch the app on your mobile device.
3. Add Printer: Click on ‘Add Printer’.
4. Setup: Select ‘Setup’ and follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network.

Method C: Via Computer Standard Setup

If you’re more comfortable using a computer, follow these steps for a standard setup.

1. Download the Wireless Setup Utility: Visit Canon’s support website to download the wireless setup utility.
2. Connect Printer via USB: Temporarily connect your printer to your computer using a USB cable.
3. Run the Utility: Open the downloaded utility and follow the prompts.
4. Select Wi-Fi Network: Choose your new Wi-Fi network and enter the updated password.

Step 3: Confirm the Connection

Once you’ve completed any of the methods above, confirm that your printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network. You can often do this through the printer’s control panel or by printing a network configuration page.

Changing your printer’s Wi-Fi settings may seem daunting, but by following these straightforward methods, you’ll have your Canon printer reconnected in no time.
