Prerequisites for WiFi Setup
Before you begin, ensure you have the following ready:
- Epson ET-2750 Printer: Powered on and ready.
- Wireless Router: Your Wi-Fi network should be active and broadcasting.
- Network Name (SSID): The name of your Wi-Fi network (e.g., "MyHomeNetwork").

Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| "Connection Failed" | Incorrect password, weak signal, network issue | Double-check your Wi-Fi password for typos. Move the printer closer to the router. Restart your router and printer. |
| Network not found | Router off, too far, hidden network | Ensure your router is on and broadcasting. Move printer closer. If your network is hidden, you might need to manually enter the SSID. |
| Intermittent connection | Signal interference, IP address conflict | Check for other devices causing interference. Assign a static IP to the printer (advanced). Update printer firmware if available. |
| Cannot print after connect | Driver issue, firewall | Ensure printer drivers are installed on your computer. Check computer firewall settings. Restart computer, printer, and router. |
