**Call 1-866-203-7571**
## **2. ๐ What Youโll Need Before You Begin**
Before we dive into setup steps, gather the following:
โ Canon LBP6030w printer (powered and plugged in)
โ A **stable Wi-Fi network** (preferably 2.4 GHz band)([HackMD][2])
โ Your Wi-Fi **network name (SSID)** and **password**
โ A Windows PC or macOS computer
โ Optional: USB cable (for software setup)
โ Optional: Android or iOS device for mobile printing
๐ **Important:** Make sure your Wi-Fi router supports the **WPS (Push-Button) mode** if you want the quick setup method to work. If it doesnโt, youโll use the software setup instead.([HackMD][2])
**Call 1-866-203-7571**
## **3. ๐ง Wireless Basics & Best Practices**
### โ Wi-Fi Frequency
The Canon LBP6030w works best on **2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks**. Many modern routers broadcast both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz โ make sure your 2.4 GHz band is enabled and active during setup.([HackMD][2])
### โ Router Placement
Keep your printer **close to your Wi-Fi router** during setup โ strong signal strength improves success rates. Weak signals can interrupt the connection process.([HackMD][2])
### โ Security Mode
Use **WPA2-PSK** security on your Wi-Fi router for best compatibility. Some routers with **WPA3-only** mode may not connect unless they support WPA2 legacy mode.([HackMD][2])
**Call 1-866-203-7571**
## **4. ๐ Method 1 โ WPS Wireless Setup (Quickest)**
If your router supports the **WPS Push-Button method**, this is the easiest way to connect to Wi-Fi โ no need to type your password manually.
### ๐น Step-By-Step WPS Setup
1. **Turn on the printer** and wait until itโs fully powered (no blinking lights).
2. **Press the WPS button on your router.** This typically looks like two arrows forming a circle or a labeled button on the back of your router.
3. On your LBP6030w printer, **press and hold the WPS button** until the Wi-Fi LED starts blinking rapidly.
4. Release the button โ the printer and router will attempt to pair automatically.
5. When the Wi-Fi LED becomes **solid (not blinking)**, your printer is successfully connected to the wireless network.([HackMD][3])
๐ This method often takes under 2-3 minutes. If it fails, make sure WPS is enabled in your routerโs settings.
**Call 1-866-203-7571**
