There are several reasons why a Canon printer won’t connect to WiFi, including:

• Incorrect WiFi credentials (wrong password)
  
• Network interference or signal issues
  
• Router frequency not supported (5GHz vs. 2.4GHz)
  
• Outdated printer firmware or drivers
  
• Previous network settings causing conflicts
  
• Printer too far from the router
  

Understanding these potential causes will help you troubleshoot the issue more efficiently.


Most Canon printers only support 2.4GHz WiFi networks. If your router is broadcasting only on a 5GHz frequency, your Canon printer will not connect to WiFi.
Solution: Access your router settings and enable the 2.4GHz band. Then try connecting the printer again.


Sometimes, a simple reboot can resolve minor glitches between the printer and your network.
Steps:

1. Turn off your Canon printer and unplug it.
   
2. Restart your WiFi router.
   
3. Reboot your computer or mobile device.
   
4. Turn everything back on and try reconnecting.
   

If your printer has a touchscreen, use the Wireless LAN Setup option.
Steps:

1. Press the Setup or Menu button on the printer.
   
2. Go to Wireless LAN Setup.
   
3. Choose Standard Setup or Easy Setup.
   
4. Select your WiFi network (SSID) and enter the password.
   

If successful, the printer will show a confirmation screen. If not, you may see a "connection failed" message.


If your Canon printer does not have a screen, you can use WPS (WiFi Protected Setup).
Steps:

1. Press and hold the WiFi button on the printer until the light flashes.
   
2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
   
3. Wait for the WiFi light on the printer to turn solid.
   

This connects your Canon printer to the WiFi automatically.
