MG 2920 wifi help

Rhkilgour — Fri, 10 Jan 2020 13:43:51 GMT

I installed a new router and my printer is offline. When I turn it on the blue wifi light comes on. However, when I hold it down to connect to the network, nothing happens. I have tried everything and cannot get reconnected. HELP

Hi Rhkilgoup,,

Please check your router. Does it have a WPS button? If so, you can use the WPS method to connect your PIXMA MG2920 to your wireless network:

If you do not have a WPS button or the WPS ethod fails, please use the Cableless Setup method:

When I hold the blue wifi button down on the printer, nothing ever flashes. It does not matter how long I hold it.

Hi Rhkilgour,

Let's do a test of your printer. Please follow these steps:

1. Turn your printer off.

2. Wait 2 minutes and turn your printer back on.

3. Load letter sized paper in your printer.

4. Hold down the STOP button on your PIXMA MG2920 until the Error light blinks 1 time, then release it.

Did a test page print?

If not, does the error light blink? If the error light is blinking, how many times does it blink before there is a pause?

If the error and power lights both blink, how many times do they both blink before there is a pause?

Hi Rhkilgour,

Please remove both ink cartridges from your printer.

With the power on, please disconnect all of the cables/cords from the back of the printer.

Wait 5 minutes and then reconnect only the power cord.

Turn your PIXMA MG2920 on.

Reinsert the ink cartridges.

Load paper in the printer.

Hold down the STOP button until the error light blinks 1 time and let it go.

Does the test page print? If not, does the error light blink?
