PIXMA G6020 wifi password entry not showing up

CMBrink88 — Wed, 28 Jan 2026 13:28:03 GMT

I recently purchased a second hand Megatank Pixma G6020 Multifunction Printer K10496 and tried to connect it to my home Wi-Fi.

I did a manual search, it found my router, but when I selected OK to enter my password it went straight to trying to connect to it. When it failed, I tried it again and still did not ask for a password. I tried it on another Wi-Fi router that I know requires a password and it did the same thing.
