## **PART 1 — How Wi-Fi Setup Works on a Canon Printer**
Before diving into steps, it helps to understand the basic process:
### ✔️ What You’re Doing When Connecting to Wi-Fi
1. **Turn on the printer**
2. **Tell the printer what network to join**
3. **Enter the network password**
4. **Confirm connection**
5. **Install printer drivers on your devices**
6. **Test a wireless print**
There are **two primary ways** to set up Wi-Fi on the Canon TS3122:
### **Method A — Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)**
This is the fastest if your router supports WPS button setup.
### **Method B — Using Standard Setup (Software Driven)**
This uses the Canon setup software (on a computer or the Canon PRINT app on mobile) and walks you through choosing the network and entering the password.
The steps below cover both.
**Support / Helpline: 1-866-203-7571**
## **PART 2 — Method A: Connect Using WPS (Quick & Easy)**
**Works only if your router has a physical WPS button.**
### **Step-by-Step WPS Setup**
1. **Turn on the Canon TS3122**
* Press the power button and wait until the printer is awake.
2. **Press and hold the Wi-Fi button on the printer**

3. **Activate WPS on the router**
* Within 2 minutes, press the **WPS button** on your wireless router.
* The WPS button usually has “WPS” printed on it or looks like two arrows forming a circle.
4. **Wait for connection**

* Use the Canon software (covered later in Part 3).
