MX 472 Printer Could Not be Detected on the Network

This is killing me. I don't know what the problem is. I have tried and tried to install the MX 472, but it will not connect to the network or be found. I had  this printer work before on another router, but after moving, it won't connect. I hae RESET all data, still it won't be found.

 

I did manage to see it once in my list of networks, but that was only once. When I try to set up using cableless method, the Canon_ij_Setup shows, but the installation won't find it.

 

I printed the Network Configuration page and this is what I am seeing:

 

Wireless Lan - Enable

Connection - Inactive

MAC Address - D8:49:2F:B7:9A:56

SSID-BJNPSETUP

Communication Mode - Infrastructure

Channel -

Encryption - none

WEB Key Length - Inactive

 

IPv4 IP Address -

 

and the remaining is all blank.

 

Anyone could help, please....  This is so frustrating.

But I am struggling why it is not showing on my network. Only the Cannon_ij_Setup shows when doing a cableless setup but it disappears after a time out.

Hi razzor,

 

Please try using the manual method of connecting your PIXMA MX472 to your Wi-Fi:

Thanks, but it doesn't work.

 

When I get to step 8:

When Select access point appears, use the left or right arrows to select the wireless network to connect to:

 

The printer shows my router but it will not connect. The router offers both 2.4 and 5 G. My computer is usually on 5 G. I haven't experienced this problem before.

 

Any ideas?
