## ⚡ Before You Begin — What You Need

Before setting up Wi-Fi on your Epson WorkForce 2650, make sure you have the following:

### 📶 1. A Wi-Fi Network

* You **must** have a working wireless network (SSID).
* Know your **network name (SSID)** and **Wi-Fi password**.
* Epson printers usually work best on **2.4 GHz**, not 5 GHz networks. ([HackMD][2])

### 🔌 2. Printer Power

* The Epson WF-2650 must be **turned on** with no errors on the screen.

### 📍 3. Router in Range

* The printer needs to be relatively close to your router during setup.
* Avoid obstacles (walls, metal objects) between the printer and router.

## 🛠️ Method #1 — Connect Using the Printer’s Control Panel

This is the most common setup method and works for nearly all users.

### 🔹 Step-by-Step:

1. **Turn on the Epson WorkForce 2650** and wait until it is idle.
2. Press the **Home** button on the printer.
3. Use the arrow keys to navigate to **Wi-Fi Setup**.
4. Select **Wi-Fi Setup Wizard** and press **OK**.
5. The printer will search for nearby networks.
6. Choose your **Wi-Fi network name (SSID)** from the list.
7. Enter your **Wi-Fi password** using the panel keypad.

* Use the arrow keys to select characters.
* Press OK for each character.
8. When finished, press **OK** to confirm and start connecting.
9. Wait — once connected, the Wi-Fi icon will appear on the screen.

📝 If the printer does *not* see your network, you may need to manually enter SSID or adjust router settings. ([printertales.com][3])

## 🔒 Method #2 — Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

If your router supports **WPS (Push Button Setup)**, you can connect without typing your password.

> **Note:** Routers must have a WPS button — not all do.

### 🔹 How to Use WPS:

1. **Turn on** the printer.
2. On the Epson panel, press and hold the **Wi-Fi** button.
3. Go to your **router** and press the **WPS button** (within about 2 minutes).
4. The printer should detect the router’s WPS signal and connect automatically.
5. Watch for the Wi-Fi light to stop blinking — steady light means success.

⭐⭐ This method avoids password entry but only works with routers that support WPS. ([Epson][1])

## 🖥️ Method #3 — Connect via USB (Computer Setup)

If your printer cannot detect Wi-Fi or the setup fails, you can use a USB cable.

### 🔹 How to Do It:

1. On your computer, **install the Epson driver** or setup software (download from Epson support).
2. During installation, choose **Wireless setup** when prompted.
3. Connect the printer to the computer using a **USB cable**.
4. Enter your Wi-Fi name & password when prompted in the software.
5. When complete, disconnect the USB cable — your printer should now join the Wi-Fi network.

💡 This method is useful when the printer’s Wi-Fi setup wizard fails or no screen input is working. ([HackMD][2])

## 📱 Method #4 — Use Epson iPrint / Smart Panel App

Epson offers mobile apps such as **Epson iPrint** and **Epson Smart Panel** — helpful if you want to set up Wi-Fi from a smartphone or tablet.

### 🔹 What to Do:

1. Download **Epson iPrint** or **Epson Smart Panel** from your device’s app store.
2. Open the app and select “Add Printer”.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to Wi-Fi.
