How to connect an Epson printer by WiFi?

Nowadays, practically all new models of Epson printers incorporate WiFi connections. However, it happens that many people do not have enough information to know how to connect an Epson printer via WiFi and end up wasting this excellent alternative for use.

Next, we will give you a step-by-step on how to make this connection. But first, we mention some recommendations that will make the performance of your printer much more effective.

First of all! download manufacturer's programs

Install the manufacturer's programs on your computer! We know that normally these programs are not used for anything other than taking up space on the pc. However, they have many functions that facilitate and optimize the performance of your printer. Including some related to "how to connect Epson WiFi printer".

Now that you have the advantageous support programs on your computer, we can start with the step by step to Connect Epson Printer to WiFi.

Step 1: Configure the Connection type WT

The first step to connect your Epson printer to WiFi begins with the support program that you will have downloaded to your computer. Once you access it and begin the installation process, you must follow the instructions indicated by the program as you progress through the process.

After the program ends with the "Installation" stage, which lasts about 8 or 10 minutes, you will go to the "Configuration" stage. Once in it, the first window that the program launches will allow you to "Select the type of Connection", for which you will choose the option of "Wireless Connection" and click on "Next".

The next window will allow you to choose between two options: "I am going to configure the printer for the first time" or "The printer is already on my wireless network". In your case, you are doing the process for the first time, you will choose the first option and then you will click on "Next".

In case your computer automatically detects the WiFi network that you want to connect, the program throws up an “Automatic WiFi Connection” window. In it, you will select the option “Yes” and then you will click on “Next”.

Automatic Connection is viable when we are at home connected to a single home network. However, if you are in a workplace, it is very likely that there is more than one WiFi network, so you will need to continue with Step 2.1 or 2.2.

Step 2.1: Access the WiFi Network from the Printer Control Panel

In case the computer does not detect the WiFi network automatically, you will find a window to Select the Configuration Method, where you will choose the option "Use the printer buttons" and then you will click on "Next".

At this point, you will need to go to the control panel of your printer and follow the following path: Menu >> Configuration >> Network Configuration >> WiFi Configuration >> Setup Assistant. WiFi >> Select the SSID (WiFi Network) of your preference >> Enter the password.

If the process is effective, the printer will give you a message if you want to print a test report (Select the "No" option). Once you get this message, go to your computer and click "Next" until you get a window in which you can indicate that "The printer is already connected to your network."

After this step, the program will verify that the Printer-WiFi-Computer connection is effective and you will be able to print a test sheet. At this point, the process will have effectively ended.

Step 2.2: Connect via temporary USB cable

This option corresponds to the alternative of “Connect a USB cable temporarily”, instead of the one already explained, “Use the printer button”. Once you click on "Next", you must follow the instructions of the program, until you find a window that indicates that you must make the cable connection.

Once you do, continue the brief instructions of the program until you can disconnect the cable, select your WiFi network and enter the respective password.

Completing this process is the same as in Step 2.1, resulting in a successful connection. With it, you can print files from any device, as long as they are on the same WiFi network.
