MX922 WiFi password change issue

chrisgordey — Mon, 01 Jul 2019 05:17:23 GMT

Hi, I've had an issue for some time where I can't change the password saved in the printer for my network. I've been using it wired due to this issue. When I try to connect to wireless lan it says password incorrect. I have tried the Reset LAN settings option but it doesn't remove the saved networks and I must change my router ssid to make it work. Very bummed out by the plethora of issues I have with every printer I buy. If only it would ask for the friggin password.

Thanks for any insight.

Hi chrisgordey,

To connect your PIXMA MX922 to your wireless network, please follow these steps:

1. Turn your PIXMA MX922 on.

2. Press the MENU button on your PIXMA MX922.

3. Use the arrow buttons to select WLAN Setup and press OK.

4. Press the STOP button (to select Other setup options).

5. Select Standard setup and press OK.

6. Select your wireless network name from the list that appears and press OK.

7. Press OK to access the on screen keyboard and enter in your wireless network password. Please note that this password is case sensitive and if it is entered incorrectly, your PIXMA MX922 will not connect to your network. To switch between upper case letters, lower case letters and special characters, please use the middle function button below the LCD of your PIXMA MX922.

8. Press the left function button under the word "Done" once the password is entered.

Thanks but you clearly didnt read the post. I changed my WiFi password and now the printer will not give me an option to enter the password. It will only tell me it is incorrect. I have tried the reset lan option but it still has the network ssid saved with the old password. I want to change the password, not add a network.

I'm having the same issue, though my password hasn't changed. Once I select the access point and hit "ok", I get an error message and #2 on the list is to make sure the password is correct. All of the Canon videos say to enter the password. Hard to do that when you don't get the screen to do so. If you figure it out on your own or elsewhere, please update your post so I can do the same thing.

I changed my WiFi password (same network name, updated password) and now the printer will not give me an option to enter the password. It recognizes my network and we click our network to connect and it does NOT Prompt us for the Wi-Fi Password so we cannot udpate it. It's only recognizing the OLD Password. How do we UPDATE the network with our NEW Password, so we can connect our printer. I am not getting the option to CHANGE/Update the password! 😞 We have a CANON Pixma MX7520. Please advise! I am pulling my hair out I am so frustrated! Thank you!!!!

My printer skips step 7. I can go back to my old wifi and it goes to step 7. On my new wifi it does not give you the option to change the password -- no keyboard appears in the setup sequence. I get an error screen telling me it failed to connect.
There is no WPS button on the wifi.

I had the same problem and finally found a solution. In the printer user manual it says WPA/WPA2 encryption method on your router is not supported by this printer. You'll have to go into your router as administrator and change the WPA version to just WPA2 if yours is set to WPA/WPA2 or WPA2/WPA3. Go back and do the WAN setup on the printer again, find the router name, click OK, in the next step only one option is highlighted, it shows some address or something, click it and it will then ask for the password! Enter it and you are good to go!

I have done all these steps. I have also done a "reset of my LAN" and then went to reset the wireless, it saw my access point (SSID) but when i clicked on it, it never prompted me to enter the passphrase. whatever password it thought it had (in my case, there was no WPS button on my router) and i have to apparently, enter my pwd in manually, but no matter which path i take the printer seems to think it knows or not, the passphrase. I read one discussion that i needed to "disable" wifi. I assumed that is what the reset did. However, i am never prompted for a passphrase, but rather a failed attempt at connecting
