I have a brand-new Pixma TR8622a (my first Canon printer product). I installed it successfully, printed several items from computer, phone, tablet, etc. Two days later, the printer suddenly shows not connected. I turned it off, unplugged it, plugged it back in, but still nothing. The printer status shows that it has a good wifi connection; however, the Canon printer diagnostic tool (on my computer) says that there is no signal from the modem and recommends I move my modem closer. For reference, my modem is less than ten feet from my computer/printer. I am pretty good with electronics and this is making me very strongly consider returning this printer and going with a different brand. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Racktree,
Please follow these steps:
1. Please tap the Wi-Fi icon in the lower left corner of your printer's display
2. Next, select Wi-Fi
3. Select See settings
Is the name listed under Network name (SSID) the name of your Wi-Fi network? If so, is your computer connected to that same network?
Please scroll down the list, what is listed under Signal Strength? Is that number greater than 70%?
Below that, does the IPv4 address begin with 192.168.... or 10.0..... or does it begin with different numbers? If it doe not begin with 192.168. or 10.10, what does it begin with?
If there is nothing listed next to SSID or the Signal Strength is blank, please follow these steps:
1. Please tap the Wi-Fi icon in the lower left corner of your printer's display
2. Next, select Wi-Fi
3. Select Wi-Fi setup
4. Select Manual connect
5. Select your home's wireless network name from the list
6. Tap "Please enter" to enable the onscreen keyboard and then enter your Wi-Fi password
7. Tap OK once entered
Once reconnected, please follow the set of first steps again. Does your Wi-Fi appear next to SSID now?

Yes, all of my network names appeared. I tried a different wifi network, but it still doesn't work. The IPv4 address showing on the printer is different than the IP address that is showing when I pull up the printer status...but yes, I will hop on and try the real time tech support.

I have had this same problem with 2 canon Pixma printers so far. I have tried the Wifi connection assistant, adding through windows. resetting the network settings. it simply WONT connect to the printer, I have a complete unopened box of ink that i cant use right now, because i cant connect to my printer. I only buy genuine ink (same store i bought the printer at) and still nothing. I tried both wireless and wired connections and still wont connect. and i cant even connect with my computer to see the settings. I bought the product, i should not have to pay extra if the thing doesn't work to get it fixed. This is the 2nd printer in 6 months that this has happened to. I guess i will be going with Brother Printers from now on.
