The **Canon PIXMA TR4522** is a popular all-in-one wireless inkjet printer designed for home and small-office use. One of its key features is the ability to connect to your Wi-Fi network so you can print and scan *without cables* from **computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets**. ([Canon U.S.A.][2])
Setting up wireless connectivity correctly ensures smooth printing, scanning, and use of mobile printing features like the *Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY* app.
Wireless setup can seem confusing for first-time users — especially if you’re unfamiliar with routers, SSIDs, or network passwords. But with the right steps, you can have your printer online in just minutes.
Before we begin, make sure you have:
* Your **Wi-Fi network name (SSID)** and **password** ready
* A working **Wi-Fi router**
* A computer, tablet, or smartphone you want to connect
* The printer out of the box and plugged in ([HackMD][1])
