## 1. **Before You Begin**

Before connecting your Canon imageCLASS MF624CW to Wi-Fi, gather the following:

🔹 **Wi-Fi network name (SSID)** — the wireless network you want to join
🔹 **Wi-Fi password (network key)** — required to authenticate to your router
🔹 **Printer within range of Wi-Fi signal**
🔹 **Router supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (most printers only support 2.4 GHz)** — many modern routers default to 5 GHz, which some printers can’t detect ([Reddit][2])
🔹 Understand your **security type** (WPA2-PSK is most common and recommended) ([Canon U.S.A.][3])

💡 *Tip:* Keep your mobile device or computer connected to the same Wi-Fi you intend for the printer.
