Reconnect after changing your Wi-Fi password
The printer keeps the old password and silently drops off. Re-running the wireless setup takes a few minutes.
01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

Enter the new password exactly, watching for case and spaces.

Wait for the Wi-Fi lamp to go steady.
- 5
On your computer, delete and re-add the printer if it still shows offline.
Pro tip
Keep the same network name when replacing a router and most devices, including the printer, reconnect on their own.
