Connect epson printer to WIFI

Select the WIFI and enter the password to start using that connection. Once you have selected the network of your preference, the system will take you to another screen (security settings) where the option to place the key appears in the option that says WPA2-PSK (AES), the strongest authorized WIFI encryption. Then you will see the boxes that tell you to enter your password (Enter Password) where you will probably have to enter a minimum of 8 characters or a maximum of 64 to place the secret password. Later, once the password has been entered, click "OK".

Meanings of the typical abbreviations that we will find

Below are the abbreviations with their respective meanings so that you can better understand what kind of choice you should make and why

• WPA: Abbreviation for WIFI Protected Access: data encryption for wireless LAN.

• WEP: it is a network of greater security. These are generally not used for residential WIFI. This type of WIFI is combined with systems of extensive authenticity protocols (EAP) which makes it very difficult to access.

• PSK: (Pre-Shared Key) is a low-profile security system or does not require extreme security to enter. Here the user makes the level of difficulty using a minimum of 4 to 64 characters.

• WPA-PSK: is the system that allows connect epson printer to WIFI points to join each other. Here the system only looks for the closest and strongest points, then it connects using only a minimum of security, the necessary one so that your equipment is protected from a third party and the connected equipment can work well within an established radius.

• WPA2-PSK: It works the same as the previous one, except that this allows the equipment to be installed with the AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption, the strongest authorized standard encryption of WIFI.

Devices from which we can send impressions

- Use any mobile device or computer with the option to print: With both smartphones and tablets, the option to print using WIFI or Bluetooth is very easy. You can see the icons at the top or bottom of the screen of your devices or download an App that works with your brand of printer. If it is an iPhone, just by having AirDrop you will easily be able to send content from your device to the printer.

- Select the printer that you are going to use from your device and make sure to print the amount you want: any device will automatically reflect on the screen the brands and models of printers that are closest to you, you just have to select which one is going to print and specify both the number of copies (pages to print) and if you want it to print on both sides of the sheet (double-sided).

For your pc

Use the installation CD that comes with the equipment or have the address indicated by the manufacturer to install the printer model on your computer. Here you will not only be able to find the Driver of the equipment to be installed, but also any number of programs that are favorable to the printer. If you are not interested in installing another program other than printing, you just have to click "Driver" and your computer will take around 10 to 15 minutes to install the external machine. You just have to be attentive, read the instructions, and start using the printer on your PC via cable or WIFI.

Attention: so that you do not have complications, install both the smart device and connect printer to WIFI on the same internet connection. In this way, the two would work on the same data transfer line, passing information through the same channel. Printing will only take place if the printer is turned on and enabled with the wireless option, which appears with a radial antenna silhouette as the icon.

Protect your WiFi and your data

In a short time, WiFi network connections have become daily activities. Find a WiFi point, deactivate the data when entering the house, connect from your computer to your mobile WiFi ...

This simple practice can be a problem if the factory security is not changed, our neighbor can get into our Wifi connection, or anyone who knows the basics of connections can get into your PC or smartphone in a very simple way.

Full security is unavoidable, but we can greatly reduce hacker attacks with a few simple tips.

Access to your router

To enter your router you must put your IP address in the bar of your browser, then you will get the message to access with the username and password.

Well, so that no one enters our connection, apart from us, we must change the password and access. Avoid the passwords and accesses of "1234/1234 or admin/admin", they are the ones that come by default in all routers.

Rename SSID

It is the name that identifies your network. Also by default, it will have a name similar to the name of your telephone company, when it is recommended that it have another type of name or easily recognizable digits for you, but without giving information to the rest of the users that it is your network.

Data encryption

This is a very complex subject that you should only know one thing about if you do not understand very well how sending information works. It is not the same to send a letter in an envelope as a letter in a safe. As for your router, the safe would be the encryption and the most secure in these times is WPA2.

Limit the power of your antenna

In this way, you will ensure that at least in your home it is only you who enjoys the connection and not the neighbors.

Check, moving with your mobile at home, that when you lower the range you do not lose connection.
