Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' - however, I get Error during installation

Im trying to configure my printer 'Canon PIXMA MX3170' -

I followed the following steps mentioned on some site:

"Follow below steps to setup Canon MG3100 printer to wifi using WPS function (by a button push on the wireless router/access point)

Press and hold maintenance button on printer. (button with screw driver and cutting pair symbol)

Now the LED should flash as '_'

Press and hold 'Fit to Page" button, now LED should flash as single dash moving vertically.

Once the LED flash is confirmed, press and hold WPS button on router/access point for about five seconds.

Printer should stop the flashing and LED should be back to normal displaying '1'.

This completes the setup and you are ready to use your printer wireless ".

However,

1.LED on my printer flashes 1-2-3-E instead of a steady 1.

2. Error message during installation : "An error occurred while communicating with the printer"

3. Im using a netgear router - and I don't know what is an access point and how to configure it for the printer.

4. I think I pressed the right button - (WPS button) - button with symbol having a tower emitting waves.

My installation as a result - failed. Need your help.

Thanks,

Aditya
