Hi! Setting up my new pixma ip8720. When setting up the wifi, I press and hold the wifi button. The power lamp flashes twice and i let go, but the wifi lamp does not turn on. Please advise, thanks!

Yes, I used that. Issue is with hardware.

Seems you are right, the wifi lamp flashes after power lamp flashes twice. The wifi light continues to flash until network connection is made then it becomes a solid light. If it does not flash then it is not in setup mode. You can power down the printer and restart, and make sure it is within range of your router. It may go out if it does not get a proper 2.4ghz signal.
