This guide walks you through step-by-step solutions to fix a Canon printer that is not connecting to the internet [phone]. From simple checks to advanced settings, we’ll cover everything you need to know.

## ✅Step 1: Check Basic Network Requirements

Before diving into complex fixes, start with these essentials:

Wi-Fi is enabled on your router and working with other devices (e.g., phone, laptop).

The Canon printer supports wireless connectivity (confirm your model has Wi-Fi).

You’re within range of your Wi-Fi router (avoid thick walls or long distances).

The correct Wi-Fi password is being used.

Your network is not hidden (hidden SSIDs may need manual input).

## ✅Step 2: Restart Devices

Sometimes, a simple restart can fix temporary connectivity issues.

Turn off your Canon printer.

Unplug your router/modem for 30 seconds and plug it back in.

Restart your computer or mobile device (if you use one for configuration).

Turn your printer back on and try connecting again.

## ✅Step 3: Reconnect to Wi-Fi via the Printer’s Control Panel

Most Canon printers with a screen have an onboard menu to reconnect to Wi-Fi:

For Canon Inkjet Printers with LCD (like PIXMA series):

Go to Menu > Wireless LAN setup.

Select Easy Setup or Wi-Fi Setup Wizard.

Choose your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) from the list.

Enter your Wi-Fi password.

Wait for the connection to be established.

You should see a “Connected” or “Successful” message. If not, move to the next step.

## ✅Step 4: Use the WPS Push Button Method (If Supported)

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a quick way to connect without typing passwords.

On your router, press the WPS button (usually located on the back or side).

Within 2 minutes, press the Wi-Fi or WPS button on your Canon printer.

The printer should automatically connect to your router.

If the WPS method fails, check that WPS is enabled in your router settings.

## ✅Step 5: Check for IP Address Conflicts

If the printer has connected before but now cannot, it may be due to an IP address conflict.

How to check IP settings on your printer:

Print a Network Configuration Page (this is found in the printer’s settings).

Look for the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway.

Compare them to your network. If the IP is outside your router's range or says “0.0.0.0,” the printer isn’t connected.

Fix:

Set a manual (static) IP address in the printer settings.

Or reset the network settings and reconnect using the steps above.

## ✅Step 6: Reset the Printer's Network Settings

Sometimes, clearing old settings is the only way forward.

To reset network settings:

Go to Settings > Device Settings > Reset Setting.

Select Reset LAN settings or Reset All Settings.

Confirm and restart your printer.

Reconnect to Wi-Fi using the steps in Step 3.

## ✅Step 7: Update Printer Firmware

Outdated firmware can cause bugs that affect Wi-Fi and internet connectivity.

How to update:

Visit the Canon Support website

Enter your printer model.

Download the latest firmware update and instructions.

Follow the update guide carefully (some models allow updates directly from the printer via Wi-Fi).

Caution: Don’t power off the printer during a firmware update.

## ✅Step 8: Ensure Your Router Supports the Frequency

Some Canon printers only support 2.4GHz networks and won’t connect to 5GHz bands.

To check:

Log in to your router’s admin panel (usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in a browser).

Ensure your 2.4GHz band is enabled.

If using dual-band, try renaming your 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks differently (e.g., “HomeWiFi-2G” and “HomeWiFi-5G”).

Reconnect your printer to the 2.4GHz network only.

## ✅Step 9: Firewall or MAC Address Filtering

Some advanced users enable MAC address filtering or strict firewalls on their router, which can block new devices like your printer.

Fix:

Disable MAC address filtering, or

Add your printer’s MAC address (from the Network Configuration Page) to the router's allowed list.

Also, check if parental controls or guest network settings are preventing access.

## ✅Step 10: Use Canon’s Software Utility (Windows/Mac)

Canon provides a setup tool that can simplify the wireless connection process.

Canon Software Options:

Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY App (for mobile)

IJ Network Device Setup Utility

Canon Easy Wireless Connect

Steps:

Download and install the utility from Canon’s website.

Follow the on-screen prompts to detect your printer and configure Wi-Fi.

Ensure both your printer and computer/phone are on the same network.
