4. Read the message that is displayed, and select "OK".
5. Select "SSID Settings".

7. Select a wireless LAN router. Select the router whose SSID matches the one that you have written down, and select "Next".

To view details of security settings: Select the wireless LAN router, and select "Details". To return to the original screen, select . If your wireless router is not found

Check whether the machine is properly installed and ready to connect to the network.

This video may be old but you saved me again in 2024! Worked perfectly! Thank you

This video has saved my life twice now. Nowhere else on the internet (least of all Canon's own website!) can you find this information. Thank you!!

[lesterrawlins]

Excellent Video!!! I had read the factory instructions (which were unclear) then tried for a couple of days to get my printer connected. Finally, I found this two minute video which provided clear and concise instructions which actually worked. Another two minutes and my printer was connected and printing my Word document. Thanks John.

This is the 4th time this video saved me!

Love my Canon printer, but connecting to WiFi should be waay easier.

[mikeyvortex]

Yes! Finally. This is the only video that actually worked. Thank you.

I have always come back to this video for instructions whenever I change my wi-fi router or provider. Excellent explanation. It seems to be clearer than Canon's own manual and website. Keep it up!!

[nelram]

Thank you! It was so easy to set up instead of reading the instructions!

[dr-seah]

Excellent, thank you very much. I didn't see it until afterwards but the list of steps in the description is a great idea

[isabellejones]

[kimwetenkamp]

I was trying forever to find how to do this, thank you!

[theresazaguri]

Thank you so much, like others, with manufacturing instructions were. Not able to connect my wifi, with your two minutes instructions Video I did it, 😅😊🎃

[mumabird]

This helped me a lot, so thank you. Also, have you ever heard of ASMR? This will sound weird, but if you start recording yourself just talking or reading out loud and tag it "asmr", you'll probably get a huge number of followers. Your voice has a sort of rich, hypnotic affect that's very soothing.

[lisaknapp]

Fantasic video! Worked like a charm. Thank you for sharing :)
