Using a Cell Phone as a Modem/Router for Pixma TS3122

mplunsford — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 05:26:56 GMT

Does anyone know how to use a mobile phone as the router/modem for a Pixma TS3122 Printer? The only instructions I have require pressing the WPS button on the wireless router. Of course, there is no WPS button on a cell phone!

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated 🙂

Greetings,

Please tell us what you are trying to do?

If you are attempting to tether or connect your printer to your phone's hotspot, it isn't going to work reliably. On an aside, your mobile device does not offer WPS functionality.

We can provide more detail once we understand what you want to accomplish and why you believe connecting to your mobile device is the solution.

Hi mplunsford,

If you do not have a router and wish to use your PIXMA TS3122 wirelessly, you can always use your PIXMA TS3122 is "direct connect" mode. For more information regarding this, please view the following article:
