Start Guided Flow

1. Check Wi-Fi Light on Printer

Select current status

Diagnosis: The printer is broadcasting but cannot handshake with your router. Usually caused by modern mesh dual-band steering (5 GHz vs 2.4 GHz) or a recent Wi-Fi password change.

2. The 2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz Network Trap

Almost all home printers require a 2.4 GHz connection. Modern mesh Wi-Fi systems (e.g. eero, Nest, Orbi) group 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz under a single name, causing printers to drop off.

Quick solution:

1. Open your router app on your phone.

2. Temporarily pause 5 GHz for 10 minutes (or turn on a 2.4 GHz Guest / IoT network).

3. Reconnect the printer. Once linked, re-enable 5 GHz—the printer will stay locked on 2.4 GHz.

3. Test Printer IP Address

Enter the IPv4 address shown on your printer display or network test sheet:
